2014 Mercury/suzuki Advice

I wont ask which one is better becauase that'll just start a never ending debate, but im looking at getting a new boat and tossing up between powering it with either a 2014 90HP SUZUKI or the 90HP MERCURY.
Again, not asking which one is better, but any feedback on either of these engines would be great, does anyone own one of these current model motors that could give me some feedback?? are either engines known for having any negative issues or problems?? This is my first boat and looking at spending a bit of money so just want as much info as I can before I hand over all that cash

Sorry, should have been more specific. Im looking at the four stroke models so I believe the suzuki is the DF 90 A and the Mercury is just their fourstroke EFI model, the mercury website doesnt show an actual model number as such.
