I currently have a deluxe 24 Ariens left over from last year on layaway,and after reading some reviews on this years Ariens,learning that this years models Ariens moved the wheels for better weight distribution to correct auto turn issues,I talked to the dealer where I'm getting my new thrower,they said they would sell me this years model for $109 more,I'm just wondering if anybody on here had used the new model,or if the changes are actually a improvement...I'm not sure if $109 difference is worth it,if it is then I'm going to pull the trigger on this years new model instead of the left over....thanks for the input

Eh. Naah. Not unless it's the Platinum SHO

If he has both, why can't you go down and try them both and take the one you want?
