The bigger Redmax is worth the extra money though.

you mean the 7000?- The thing is im not sure i need a huge blower, just one that can easily push a good amount of leaves ect. I also like the the stratifyed charge engine. But how much is the bigger one? im trying to stay under $400
-thanks

I also like stihl, im wondering if the br 340 is a better choice. Also the 590 cfm on the "quiet" version of the 5000 must be at the housing- does anyone know at the pipe ?

"Also the 590 cfm on the "quiet" version of the 5000 must be at the housing- does anyone know at the pipe ?" Where is the air going if not through the pipe? The speed would change, probably greatest at the nozzle.

Ok at the nozzle, i think you get the idea, on most websites its refered to "at the pipe" thats the reason i put it. But im just really looking for the cfm- not at the housing
