As others stated the mag has more torqe. But the Vanguard isnt really a briggs. You want to know why in my honest opinion, briggs couldnt make an eng that good! Theres nothing wrong with Vanguard it will last as long as a kohler honda or Kawaski, with proper maninance.
Ill tell you the least eng I have to work on, Honda, Kaw, Kohler, Briggs, being the absolute worst. If you could find an 18 20 hp honda, we just sold one to a guy in Iowa, that would be the way to go. Heck the parts on them are so cheap! Guy needed a rebuild kit and shut off celonid for his 20 hp the other day, it was cheaper to get a whole new carb! His total for it was like 140.00, if that were a kohler eng the carbs are like 220 to 250, the shut off on the commands are like 115.
I can look at my book and get you some pricing on a short block for ya or if you want a complete eng, long block. I saw some commands the other day for a commercial cust at 1200 for a long block, but Im thinking that was like 27hp.
