I had a 16 snopro and have had two 19 mc's
The 16's comparitive good
Engine
Color choice
Price
The 16's bad
The plastics
Overall fit and finish
2.6 track
Fuel economy
The handlebar switchgear
In comparison the 19
Engine has some negative reviews but hasn't been around enough to really have a fair assessment.
Only colors are blah black and grey, or loud flaming fabulous purple. The purple nurple is growing on me.
I got a better deal on the 16 at 9100 1 year holdover where as the first 19 I got for 10200 in season and the second I got for 10400 as a one year hold over.
The better points are
The fit, for sure. All the plastics fit so much better, are way easier to remove, look better, the intake screens are so much better, and the LED light others can see through the trees.
The 3" track with the dropped case is way better. Holds better lines, get on top easier, that 2.6 would just dig holes for me.
A tank of gas goes much further
And the bar controls I don't hit with my legs and accidentally adjust, although now I have to stare at the gauge for a second to see the new controls responding it is a welcome trade
Both can take a serious hit,
The updated factory installed mag teather is very nice too
They both have the dumbest oil reservoir ever thought of
