Default Quick advice - Flymo vs Qualcast

I've got an overgrown mini lawn about 10'x20'
About to get my first mower & Trimmer.

Homebase have 20% off today so I'm going for

Strimmer = Black&Decker GL686 for 44.99-20% = £36

And choice of Flymo HC350(1500w) or Qualcast EasyTrak 320(1000w) both on
sale 69.99 (Just spotted the Qualcast even cheaper at Argos though 54.99,
which is interesting now Argos own Homebase) Anyway, just from an
engineering perspective I suspect qualcast is simpler thus better. More
watts are used for cutting the grass rather than hovering???

I've never used a mower before and hope to purchase in the next hour
(Else I'll have to leave it 'till tomorrow)

Any suggestions which?

Cheers,
Lordy
