Anyone using an Evinrude 135 HO?

Just wondering if anyone has experience around a new Evinrude 135 HO. I'm wanting to repower my Champion 171 and I'm looking at either a 135 HO or a Suzuki 140. Both are about the same in weight and I've been around Suzukis but haven't seen a 135 HO in person.

Same block as the 150/150HO. Very strong low end, just not quite as much top end hp as the 150. The small block E-Tec V6 is an outstanding platform. It will blow the 140 Suzi out of the water performance wise. It also has the Lightning gearcase for better top end performance.
