And now the S150 is available with the turbo motor and classed S160 if you want more power.The S250 is a 2500 lb rated lift machine. Between the two for me it would depend. Do I intend to lift anything that heavy? Do I need hi production to do alot of some task? Both are pluses for the s250.However if you need to move it with a 1/2 or 3/4 truck, need acess to tight areas, need a lighter footprint on your lawn, I'd lean towards the smaller machine as it will do most everything the large one can just at a slower pace.  It sound like you a homeowner class uses and most people around the house don't need a machine like a s250.Remember the rated lift capacity is 1/2 of the tipping lift, so even if the s150 is ratted 1500 lbs, it can pick up 2500lbs with a areful operator, and the s250 can lift @ 4000 to 4500 lbsNow if money was no object would I get both, maybe, would lkely get a T200 or simular track loader instead of the s250. But thats meKen</blockquote>
