Hand held gas leaf blowers over backpack?

I occasionally do landscaping work here in Ohio and I am so sick and tired of my Ryobi backpack blower. Terrible carburetor with linkage that breaks, terrible starter that tears cords and it a MAJOR pain the ass to replace it. Also the thing takes a lot of space and produces more noise than blow.

A customer gave me their cheap Craftsman handheld blower and I was blown away how simple, powerful, comfortable this thing is. This got me thinking I don't need a backpack blower at all?

I can afford a more expensive blower. What do you guys think of STIHL BG 86, Husqvarna 125B or Echo PB-2520?
