Any reason to choose one over the other? Considering new 2019/2020 model.
I have a Yammy 6hp now and it's fine but maybe I don't know what I'm missing!

Go with whichever has best local parts support.
If you ever need part numbers for Honda, being that im a Honda dealer, i can send you dealer parts look up breakdowns and part numbers. Im pretty sure msrp on parts is also on those break downs. So long as the part is also used on outdoor power equipment i can or any Honda dealer lawn mower shop can order them without the marine part price mark up.
Asking if yamaha or Honda are best is, to me, like asking which kid of yours is better. I only have one kid but if I had another I'm sure id think that way.
Yammy is more appealing as it's 6lb lighter, but the Honda is about $200 cheaper. Your parts look-up offer is appealing as well.
I only have one kid and he's more of a Tohatsu

I have no doubt the H3O is awesome. I previously had davits similar to Weaver and even with my small and relatively light dinghy and no motor it sucked hoisting it. But worse than that was storing the motor.
I'll give the H2O a go and if they don't work well, I will go back to the drawing board!
