I was planning on purchasing a backpack sprayer/ mister. I am looking at the Stihl 200 or 450 ?

Either will do the job. I've seen the 200 in action, and it sprays just as well as the 450--just a smaller tank AND a LOT lighter.

Just make sure you get a Stihl. Other brands may be cheaper, but Stihl will last longer.

The bigger one is a widow maker 200 all the way

Stihl is the way to go. Have had my 450 for 4 years now no problems.

Solo 451 holds 3Gal, it cost a little more but best on the market.

I agree with Jimmy. That being said, I'm the biggest Stihl fan in every other outdoor equipment category. I used the 425 Deluxe (Piston pump) on a daily basis, some days 8-10 hours a day and it was always true and comfortable. I feel the Stihl is not quite as ergonomic and bit to flat backed.
