    L3301 vs L3901: significant differences?

    L3301 vs L3901: significant differences?

    L3301 vs L3901: significant differences?

    My research had led me to settle on an L3901, but a comparison of their specs now leads me to believe that I wouldn't be gaining a significant advantage over the L3301.

The terrain is sandy with a gentle slope, so I'm not convinced that 4WD is necessary. I don't plan on getting the FEL, and I'm also thinking of...
