For example I've had both. Gas for ages. Picked up a craftsman V60 on clearance real cheap several years ago to try out, but now I'm back on gas. The battery mower was ok, for awhile, but not great..then the battery degraded after a season or so to the point I could no longer mow the whole yard on a charge. Additional/replacement batteries were non existent for this model...but for other battery mowers, just the battery sometimes cost more than the whole package! Then a few years later the battery died completely rending it and the mower a paperweight. The pluses...could mow the entire yard on one charge while it was new. Quieter. No engine to maintain. No fumes. Etc. The negatives...the power was just barely adequate for the thick St Augustine grass common here, so if you let it get too long or try to mow wet, it's a struggle as it will constantly stall. The batteries...as mentioned already, if you can even get them when the original wears out, they are crazy expensive. Then the longevity, largely because of the battery situation. Mine was only useable for a few years until it was straight up trash. My gas mower is 13yrs old and still runs and mows good as new and has the power to get thru nearly anything within reason.

TLDR: If someone purchased this for $999 and is within the 90 day return period, call them and see if they will pricematch to $699. It worked for me.

usually, honda will run a GCV version for a few years before going to a gxv. GXV means all the bugs are worked out and sometimes they will refine the internals a bit more. The GCV200 didnt get past that due to a decompression valve recall. They fixed the issue; and rereleased it. That's why these are 30-40% below the retail of $1099.
The NeXite deck is somewhat controversial, some say its not good because it does not have the same "weight" as steel. but the HRC steel decks do need Maintenace whereas the Nexite is lighter and does not. Overall, these were probably the next commercial units if California emissions did not kill them. Luckily you have a few more months you can still get these. Anything with an old engine block date code can still be sold into california. It's your last chance to get a real mower with Hydrostatic, 200cc engine, and blade stop. Worth it if you are buying it for life. Dont foget 5 YEAR WARRANTY!
I have had this in my cart for a couple weeks. When I looked today, it had a message about the price being updated to reflect local prices. So, it could be location specific but I'm not sure. I did order it for shipping, not pickup, for what that's worth.
