Greetings,
I have both the Brison 3.2 and the DA~50....the Brison is so strong and dead steady reliable, that when the DA~50 breaks in I'm expecting a better engine. Hard to imagine, that.
Both right now start on the 3rd flip after 4 choke flips, every single time, regardless of weather or temp.
The Brison at 5 gallons has remarkable throttle response and transition. The DA is improving with every tank, 1 gallon thus far.
As you can tell I love them both.
However without a doubt, if I were to spend the money tomorrow I would get another DA. Lighter (proven) and more power promised.
Hunnert bucks?
Break it down into months....how long am I keeping the engine? 10 months? It's easily worth 10 dollars a month more to own a DA.
2 years? 4 dollars a month to own the DA~50...no brainer. Resale?
Check the history of engines sold here on RCU...how many Brison's....How many DA's?
DA's hold their value like a Mercedes Benz...
How about service?
DA hands down.
I don't know a soul who regretted buying a DA~50, do you?
Anyone ever hear of someone wishing they had bought ANY other engine over the DA~50 they had bought?
Nope.
Kinda simplifies it doesn't it?
