Current Stihl Backpack Blower Most Like BR420?

[computeruser]

Anyone know which of the current Stihl backpack blowers puts out power around what the BR420 does? I'm looking to get my dad a backpack blower and he likes the power of my old BR420 and definitely doesn't need a ton more power than the 420 has.

430 or 450... i had a 420, and went for a 600 because i got a good deal on one, and sold the 420... just saying, you dont think you need the power until you have it...LOL there was a time i thought a stock MS280 saw was powerful... now i own a ported ms661, ported 044, currently working on a ported ms362, and compiling parts to port an ms261....all of which will blow a stock 280 (which isnt even stock anymore LOL) out of the water...
