Craftsman Snow Throwers - Advice?

Are the Sears Craftsman snow throwers any good? I'm looking for a quality two-stage unit with Briggs and Stratton power. These are the two models I'm considering:
$1200 - 88115 - 11.5 Intek, 30", steel chute, power steering, extra bells and whistles $800 - 88195 - 9.5 PowerBuilt, 29", plastic chute
Is the top one worth the extra dough? How much of a difference is there between the Intek and PowerBuilt? Are there comparable models in my price range from other manufacturers?
My info: Annual snowfall: 50" (Usually several large storms) Property: Gravel driveway - approx. 80' long x 2 cars wide. Also - 20' gravel walkway.
Since it's my first winter on a new private road, I don't know what to expect in terms of plowing. It's possible I'll need to clear a 100' car-width path to the main road.
