Default 2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke

Hey gang,
I was talking to a yamaha mechanic today on the subject of 2 vs. 4 stroke motors. His comments were not positive on the 4 strokes. Several reasons were given. One was that there's not enough difference in gas milage to warrent the difference in cost. Second the maintanance is higher on the 4, oil changing, ect.. Third, if it ever sinks it's toast, whereas a 2 stroke can run again. Fourth, it runs a smaller prop thus more rpms to cover the same ground. Bottom line, he said buy a EFI 2 stroke. The only positive thing he said about the 4 was that it was quieter. Any comments from you guys?
