@vwdasher They should totally call it the "MRGR 2" just to piss off Nissan & Honda execs 🙂

I went for a Husqvarna 320 NERA in the end (despite middling reviews) because the agent is local, was able to setup and map the garden for me, and was offering a 5yr guarantee on the machine. Fingers crossed.

"To make things even more confusing, "BSPP" (P for .. "parallel") was changed to "BSP-F" (F for ... "parallel") and then changed to "G", (for ... ... "parallel")"

Ah, the old stalwarts of "standards" and "naming things is hard" in a perfect crappy union.
