I'm normally an "electric guy" when it comes to powered garden tools, but
this morning I tried handling a petrol strimmer (the TrimMac), and it seemed
better balanced than the large and heavy electric strimmers. Apart from the
price, are there any downsides I need to be aware of?
And, why is the similar TrimMac with an extra brushwood blade around double
the price? (Same size engine, 25cc, which I would have expected to be the
major part of the pricing.)

Thanks
