If you need a battery its like buying a battery and getting the blower for free or really cheap.

I have this blower, not very heavy (compared to others) and especially easy to manage with a shoulder strap.

It's also $90 more and for Costco members. I'd rather buy a shoulder strap and second battery off eBay with the $90. It's better to have two smaller batteries than one larger one, so you can charge one while using the other…

Sounds like that makes sense for you. Others might be more comfortable knowing they have a 4 year warranty and easy Costco returns. While unlikely, the blower, battery, or charger could fail at the 6 month mark, leaving you with no warranty replacement. There are some reviews on the Greenworks site that mention the heavy weight and battery and blower failures. Someone who finds value in the warranty, shoulder strap, nozzle, and 4ah battery should consider the Costco option.
Btw, I run an older 60v Greenworks blower model with a 4ah battery and it has never needed a charge during a cleanup on a small/med size lawn/driveway.
Not sure if it's any different in the 80v system. But if you're considering cheaper batteries approach the idea with caution.
I have this exact blower and it isn't much louder than my other 80v Kobalt with lower CFM. I've had my Kobalt (working great) for several years and it's made by GW, so yours supposedly "getting bricked" in two months sounds suspect…
