You won't be, none of those other models have the digging power that this one has, nor the reach.

I've had my problems with missing parts in the kit, but their service has been quick & polite.

I got my HK hoe soaked in oil too... common sense would be to drain the oil , cause you just know the shippers (Fed Ex or otherwise) won't a give a shyt about stacking packages right side up.

My u/c is at the machinist, get it back on Monday to install the track drive upgrade & hopefully I finally have functional tracks.

Now let me see if I am reading this right you took the u/c to a machinist to make an upgrade fit so you will have functional tracks. You paid how much for this model and the tracks didn't even work. This doesn't sound like much better quality than the WEDICO's you have had problems with.
