    Help for a beginner :)

    I don't know: Jupiter makes some nice instruments (at least these days), and the B&S Neptune and MW Thor are nothing to sneeze at.

    Help for a beginner :)

    Maybe it's brands named after birds. There was old joke about "Capistrano beer...where the swallows come back..."

    well, it was 8 years ago, Jupiter was still mediocre, B&S is hit and miss, and the Norse god of thunder had not appeared in cinema yet.
