Default Small Tiller/Cultivator recommendations

I am looking for a good small gas p[powered cultivator for use in my flower beds. I am thinking about going with the 4-stroke Mantis but am open to suggestions. Thanks, in advance for any and all replies.

I have the two-stroke Mantis, and it works pretty well for general maintenance. However, with the hard clay we have here, I never expect it to be capable of breaking a significant amount of fresh ground.

For large projects, I also have a larger, heavier tiller. I start with that one, then use the Mantis to keep things nice.

We have sandy soil here but I have already made the beds. I just want something to maintain them. If I can ever find a Mantis I will get it.
