Questions on leaf blower?

Budget is 350- I'm trying to decide between these 2 backpack blowers. I'm not sure what CFM means and if the MPH is more important. The website does not show the blow force on them.

    Cubic Feet per Minute Is how much air it moves an the Miles Per Hour is how fast it moves air.

    In general I stay away from ryobi. Echo works for most but if possible consider stihl.

    CFM means Cubic Feet per Minute. A measure of the sheer volume of air they move.

    Speed of the airflow is far less important: a tiny nozzle blowing air at 216mph will move a lot less crap than a larger nozzle delivering almost 50% more air at 175mph.
