Default Hedge trimmers

I'm looking for a decent hedge trimmer. I'm thinking of a lightweight
cordless to use on a 10' high, 200-foot long Rose-of-Sharon hedge. Any
recommendations under $110?


After some research, it looks like the cordless models are only good
for a short time. Everyone that has had a corded model says they
eventually and accidentally cut the cord. And, I don't want another
gasoline tool. So now I'm looking at the hand trimmers/shears, maybe
Made in Germany or a Felco brand. I see there are straight and wavy
cutting blades--why is one preferred over the other? TIA
