Stihl Fs 90R vs 110r or Echo SRM 265?

I have a Stihl trimmer and like it. Started using a european scythe to cut hay for my horses in the winter when the soil is soft. Haven't used the Stihl since. The scythe is light, burns no gas and almost silent. :)
 
I have had a sthil since 1998, spark plugs,string,greased gearbox and just use non ethnanol gas for the trimmers. did 900 ft of fence, 28 pine trees and a 36x56 pole barn every week

Have echo now with bad carb due to usage of ethanol gas. midrange too
 
The Stihl and the Echo are great lines and it really depends on personal preference.

As mentioned above, the prices in Canada are different than the US much like everything else.

I would also agree with the above poster, that someone like the OP, can also consider the Shindaiwa in the same group.

Same company as Echo and they have some great promotions from time to time. We had T242 Shindaiwa on for $299.95, which for Canada is a great deal IMHO.

Here is a quick comparison of some of the basis stats:
