Mercury verado vs. Yamaha (150hp)

[guiltypleasure]

Both are 4-stroke, both are 150hp?
Which one is the better motor? I'm buying new so I'll get a warranty but I still don't want to spend my weekends going to the shop.
Thanks for your help.

I think it is pretty clear that yamaha has gotten the problems out the F150 and the Verado may end up fine but is still going through a lot of refinements
