lance, i own a L1428E which i purchased last december. I also looked at the 1226 but decided on the 1428. The 1226 has 11.5ft.lbs gross torque the 1428 has 13.5. i am very happy with my simplicity blower. I can blow circles around my neighbors. simplicity is one of the few manufactures that sizes their motors to their width so that you'll never find a simplicity blower that is underpowered. . no matter what simplicity blower you decide on im very confident youll be more than satisfied.
