I've read a lot about the Task Force 5 ton electric splitter from Lowes, but has anyone tried this Speeco one?

It is on sale for $249. It draws 13 amps versus 15 for the Task Force. Speeco seems well-respected for their other splitters.
I split by hand but think something like this might be good for splitting things like the smaller-diameter rounds of wood like birch which are stringy and elastic and take repeated blows to split by hand, a very inefficient way to do it.
Tractor supply is having a demo days this weekend and I will probably bring some wood over and test it out.
