Thanks baz, do have a Stihl specialist nearby but not a makita one,
I'll look at them.

So , why ask?

Because Baz i was asking for recommendations. i have been to the
Stihl dealer and the machines are very expensive and i was wondering not
only should I opt for the more expensive but whether i could get away
with a slightly smaller or cheaper model or brand. Which is why i
replied that i thanked you for the makita recommendation and would go
and search them out.
