Paid $540 total for one and $568(paid extra $25 for shipping/special order) for the other.
One other thing, being a strato-charged engine they are a bit harder to start when cold. If warm, they start first or second pull.

My BR600 starts right up when its cold. I'm still going to buy a Redmax 8500 so I can have the best of both worlds!
