I was looking at the Stihl FS91 trimmer. Thats about my price limit...$300ish. So many people rave about Stihl. But now I am swayed toward Echo because I bought an Echo chainsaw and I am impressed with it. I have seen a lot of people swear that Echo is right up there with Stihl and as far as repair frequency Echo has a little better reputation. I am pretty much set on these two brands but can not decide. My biggest needs are ease and dependability of starting (painful shoulders). I also want enough power for thick weeds. I like the idea of a 4 stroke engine but I wonder if 4 stroke is really good in a trimmer. Any thoughts?
