Western blade is heavier, and rolls the snow better.  The meyers electronic
pump is nice, but can be tempermental.  If I were to choose, I would go with
a Western.  I have used all of the big 3 (own a fisher now) and I would rank
them in the order of #1 Fisher, #2 Wester, #3 Meyers.

Hope this helps,
Mike
