I like Mercs, but the Honda's are okay too. You might also look at the Yamaha.
A Honda 6 weighs 60lbs, the Merc and Yamaha each weigh 74lbs.
The Honda has a displacement of 127cc, (7.8 cu), the Merc is 123cc (7.5 c.i.) and the Yamaha is 197cc, (12.0 cu).
With the Yamaha 6hp you can get a larger alternator: 6 A vs. 3 A.
The Honda is the only one that still uses a transistorized ignition, the others are all CDI.
As far as 6 hp vs. 5 hp, as they say, there is no replacement for displacement.
