I’m willing to pay for a little overkill on features and power.

My sister is a Doctor and use's an Ariens for her driveway. Neighbors often ask to borrow hers, but instead she prefers to just do it herself.

Look for a smaller one that is still powerful.

Unfortunately real power = bigger engines + larger width = heavy.
