I'm looking for a strimmer replacement at the moment, and while I know the usual advice is to spend more, (Stihl etc) I am tempted by the PRO24CCBCA at £120. This has a choice of disc or line and has a 3-year warranty. To get a comparable Stihl, with 2 years warranty would cost about £200-300, and I'm just wondering if the difference would be justified, especially for less than professional use.
Regards and thanks in advance,

Strimmers are OK IMO for clearance or rough maintenance, but not for much else - in a small to medium garden (up to 1/3 acre) I use shears &/or a scythe or hand scythe in preference. Strimmers can do a lot of damage to trees and shrubs. They're not great around wildlife, pets, or windows, either!
Well, after this perhaps unfashionable viewpoint, perhaps the gardeners have something to add.... I tried to cross-post this to uk.rec.gardening, but it didn't work - perhaps some helpful person will kindly cross-post this?
