Good choice. I do lawn care for a living and was replacing my two-stroke equipment every other year because of ethanol. Carbs, primer bulbs, hoses would all crap out on me.
Read an article about a guy down south with a marine shop who has been testing ethanol blends for a couple of decades. Learned that ethanol falls out of suspension in the fuel, and as a result, he's tested "10%" ethanol that's been higher than 20% at times. Yikes!
I made the switch a few years ago to non-ethanol. As a result, all my two-stroke equipment (boat included) is now lower-maintenance and lasting longer.
Plus, as a side note, you get 10% better gas mileage with it, so generally it is (around here, at least) actually a BETTER value to pay for it, too.
