I finally broke down and purchased a good weed wacker last year. did a lot of research. found the perfect tool for me. It is a redmax 26cc straight solid shaft delight. I believe that I paid a hair over 200 for it. The thing is a small 2 stroke, but man it has some power. the solid shaft will run all sorts of attachments and not break like many of the units with the cable shaft. If I remember right the thing is only 10.8 lbs. it is super light and very comfortable for several hours of use. It has started up every time i have pulled it out of the shed. One thing to remember with these tools is to make sure that you run the carb out of fuel before you store it for any length of time such as over winter.
The city of wichita and the city of andover use this model. They use them 8 hours a day 6 days a week.
stihl makes a great product too. I did read some bad reviews about stihls 4mix units though. Honda supposedly makes a good 4 stroke unit, but i believe it is heavy and pricey.
good luck
