Hedge Trimmer Recommendations

Hi Fellow URGlers Yes I know this stuff can be googled but am after real world opinion! I have a mixed row of hedging comprising cotoneaster, escallonia, eleagnus, photinia and ceanothus. The height is around 2.5m and length about 20m, more of a run of shrubs being treated as a hedge. Our old mains Black and Decker corded trimmer is small and old and we are considering treating ourselves to a new machine. What I think we need is: A longer blade Adjustable length Angleable head Probably a bit thicker branch capacity The concerns: Machine weight - neither myself or the Mrs are body building types. Machine "balance" in use. Cost - not so concerned but want vfm I am thinking that the weight concern means we should be looking at corded models still. Constructive comments and recommendations appreciated. Phil I have the Lidl long reach one with hedge trimmer and small chain saw. I haven't used this one yet, but used a friend's one a few years back and it was pretty good for the high up stuff although that was chain saw tree pruning. I will know more in the next few weeks.
