I've got a 20 ton brave as well as a 35 ton huskee.The brave is a good splitter but a big piece of elm or knotty piece of hard wood sometimes will stall it out whereas the 35 toner keeps going.Sometimes bigger is better!
Like I said it depends on your usage. I split pretty much all straight grain conifers and never have an issue. If I had primarily Elm or some other nasty stringy wood I would have bought a higher tonnage unit.
