Hey....I need a new 36" hydro walk behind

I have yet to solve my mower brand selection. So, here are the choices close to my shop:

Bobcat retail for 5300. Owner of brand is SLOW SLOW SLOW repairing down equipment.

Xmark for 5400 retail. Owner of brand is expensive, rude, and very fast repairing.

Husqavarna for 3700 retail. Owner of brand is fast repairing down equipment, very nice, and very reasonably priced (obvious from the price tag)

Gravely for 5200 retail. Owner is average priced, nice, my brand of choice, BUT far enough away that it is a problem transporting stuff there and back.

SO, my question is... is there something I don't know about Husquavarna stuff? That is the direction I am leaning because they are closest to my shop as well.

Also, this unit will get a max of about 8 hours use each week. Maybe 10. So a lesser piece that I can trust to get fixed fast IF it does go down is why?

Please comment SOON cuz I need to replace my 33" before leaves are really down.
