Deciding on EGO blower

I’m trying to decide between these two EGO blowers. Obvious answer seems to be take the one with higher speed but wasn’t sure if I was overlooking something.

At the same price, I'd go with the one with more CFM and speed. But it probably will drain the battery faster. Depending on the size of your property, and whether you have another Ego tool with a battery, you may want to plan for buying a second battery. Especially if you plan on using it to blow leaves in the wintertime.

At the same price, get the 615.
But I’d suggest looking for the same blower with a 5.0 battery, which will last a lot longer.

I bought the 5302 model from AcmeTools as a factory refurb last year and love it. It's not as powerful as a big gas model, but I've had no issues with battery life or power.

I have the 110 and it's all I need and then some. I also have their weed eater. I used the same battery for both and have never drained it.
edit: I have the 2.5 battery.

Go with higher power.
I have the lower powered one and it’s great but Sometimes I want more power
Also these things have a power control lever so you don’t have to go full power if you don’t need it

Regardless of what you get, get the 5 amp hour battery.

I have the 615/2.5, used it about and hour ago after finishing my yard. Love it. I only use maybe about 1/4 of a full battery charge at most each time.
I’m probably going to buy the trimmer in the very new future as well. Usually takes me 15-20 mins to do all my trimming and edging with a chorded trimmer currently. I should easily be able to do that with the same full battery charge as the blower without running out of juice.
