I am looking into maybe getting an Echo backpack blower this winter. But from what I see on the website, I don't think I would be gaining much by getting one of the "beginner" ones (and I don't want to spend a lot of $$$$$) . I currently have an Echo PB-255LN handheld blower (see its specs here: ECHO PB-255 Easy Starting Low Noise Handheld Leaf Blower - ECHO USA | ECHO USA). I was looking at getting the PB-265L (ECHO PB-265L Low Noise Backpack Leaf Blower - ECHO USA | ECHO USA) or if necessary the PB-500H (ECHO PB-500H Emission-Compliant Hip-Mounted Throttle Backpack Leaf Blower - ECHO USA | ECHO USA). Are there any advantages to getting one of those backpack blowers other than an increased amount of gas it can hold?? I don't see much air speed difference. Would it be worth it??
