Is one better than the other?
Is it true Victa are still made in Australia? I'd buy the Victa on that fact alone if it was verified.
Cheers.
Best advice from me would be to but the biggest engine in your budget. The 450e series engine is only 125cc. Buffalo is quite thick and I would worry about an engine that small bogging down.

Have a look at this one with a 500e 140cc engine.

Or this one for a bit more with a stronger handle set up and a 550e engine.
