I also prefer Stihl products, but you are going to find Echo has fine products also. I have no idea of the use you will put this trimmer through, but some food for thought: if you trim all day or large areas, then look into a cycle bar unit with weight carrying harness. The off-the-shelf Home Depot types are O.K. for your small yards, but the last thing you want to do is lug one over acres, six to ten times a day (if you are a pro that's what you'll be doing). The larger units like Stihl have enough torque to drive saw blades, and heavy line heads that carry more line and are prone to break line less often. And for pete's sake, forget about the ones that have tillers, blowers, edgers, and such because in my experience, those features work best as separate dedicated units.
