If you were going to buy a new motor, which brand 2 stroke would you want, and why?

Most e-tec's don't require any maintenance for the first 300 hours, unlike the four strokes, though you do have to purchase 2-stroke oil constantly.

I have been told that Etec's are 80% plastic and high labor time to work on. Whereas Tohatsu is easier to work on less labor= less mechanic charge.
I like that TLDI technology.
