Default Brushcutter - 2 or 4 stroke?

I need a new brushcutter for my grassy banks, nettles and banks of
bushy things!

I have been using on Oleo-mac 22 cc 4 stoke which has given up the
ghost. I am intending to buy a slightly more powerfull machine 30cc.

What is the difference between 2 and 4 stroke in terms of usage?

Starting easily is an important consideration for me as is general
longevity.

The guy in the shop recomends 2 stroke "its what the proffessionals
use" but he has Honda and Lawnflite 4 stokes available also.

Which should I go for? Any suggestions or experiences?


2 Strokes don't have to worry about lubrication & oil pickup etc & therefore
are, I think, better at dealing with working at funny angles.
