Hey folks! I've had it with my old gas mower and I'm looking to switch to a Dewalt battery mower to complement my Flexvolt chainsaw. I'm debating between the DCMWSP700Y2 and the DCMWSP650Y2 models. I know the 700 can hold two batteries while the 650 only holds one, but I'm curious if there's more to the differences. Can anyone provide direct comparisons, especially on specs? If both mowers use the same electric motor and function similarly, why would I choose the one with two battery slots? Is carrying an extra battery not a simpler solution? Are there any other differences I should be aware of? Thanks in advance!

So, about the DCMWSP650Y2, I heard it had a recall on earlier models. The 700 not only fixed any issues but also added a "High Power" mode feature, which some people find really useful. I usually stick with auto, but I hear enthusiasts love that option.
The DCMWSP700Y2 features LED headlights, can accommodate two batteries (but only uses one at a time), and includes a blade speed selection/override. Other than those enhancements, the two mowers are pretty similar.
