Greener, the diesel will last twice as long, burn less fuel (off-road diesel at that), and require less maintenance. You could equalize its extra cost by not getting the second deck. It won't be much faster (and no faster in tall stuff) and it's mighty heavy to lift manually.
The vacuum system also increases the cost but it works as efficiently as any I've seen. I got mine (with the 25' hopper) mainly for leaves, though I'm now mowing more and more with it. Put some car polish on the hopper floor to help the leaves slide out.
