My experience has been the same as Bushwacker's.

If you're going to have the dealer perform your service while under warranty, the cost to change the oil on a four stroke surpasses the cost to burn your oil in a two stroke, at least in my area.

I don't think there's a bad motor choice out there these days. I would go with your favorite local dealer. A good experience with the dealer is worth a lot of money in my opinion.
