Pressure Washer --- First Time Buyer

I'm looking at two Karcher washers with Honda engines on Amazon. They are both rated at 3000 psi and 2.5 gpm, but one costs $580 (225 pounds), and the other costs $400 (75 pounds). Something tells me to go with the heavier, more expensive one. I will get the surface cleaner with two rotating nozzles --- Said to be 4x faster than nozzle alone.

I did check locally on renting a large washer --- $100/day, and I probably have at least 2 or 3 days of work. Easy decision to buy.

Without knowing the exact model numbers it's tough to advise. I did see that some of the Karchers that were more expensive had a wand with quick couplers and soap injectors. I'd guess that both those weight estimates were a misprint (don't know where Amazon gets this stuff).
