I've owned a modern Mountfield for about five years; it thrives on neglect, lived outside throughout the last winter due to lack of space, and yet started first time and has continued to do so. Only thing I've had to replace is the plug cap which fell apart after three years, a combination of corrosion and hitting too many fence-posts.
I would however say that Honda kit is very good indeed. Bought an old one when I first moved here and it never let me down; only bought the Mountfield because the Honda lacked a grass-box, and it was seriously cheap at B&Q.
