Accentra or M55

[TriMom]

After research, asking questions here and having installer over, best location for pellet stove/insert is our living room fireplace with 2 large open entrances to other parts of our house and opens to stairs to second floor.

Found dealers I like that sell Harman Accentra and Enviro M55. Price is $100 less for M55 than Accentra.

Each of levels of our house is about 1550 SF.

Would the difference in BTUs 42 vs 55 make a significant difference in heating more of our house with pellets?

Wait for bigger Accentra?

Pros/Cons of M55 dependability compared to Accentra? One easier to fix than other?

Appreciate your thoughts

I'd go with the bigger BTU's, With the size house your trying to heat you'll need 55K plus IMHO.Or wait for the rumored Harman thats due out next fall.

....Or wait for the rumored Harman thats due out next fall.

Just something to think about....isn't it around this time that stove shops are thinking about clearing out excess inventory? Deals to be had???
