Default Electric or pertrol cylinder mower?

Hi,
Can anyone please advise whether a petrol cylinder mower is better
than an electric cylinder mower in terms of cut quality. The
electric mower that I have seen is approx £300.
I am unsure as to whether the extra weight of a petrol mower adds
any improvement.

The supply of electricity is not a problem.


The extra weight might improve the 'quality' of the stripes but I
doubt it does much mower (!).
Once you get the knack of handling the power lead, the lighter mower
will be easier to manoeuvre and an electric one will start FIRST time.
A petrol one could be a more problematic and *!*!*!* frustrating
starting experience.
IMHO
