Well good looks like you have it narrowed down here. I am not trying to change your mind a bit.
Looks like yor headed in the right direction. Giant power is not needed with these things.The smaller more compact is much better than the over powered and bulky.You will also find as I thru field use ground clearance isn't an issue as well as many of the other big selling points they try to make in commercials.
Of course keep it simple as more gadgets add up to more possible problems and maintainence.
