That depends on what your looking for, the Shin is a good trimmer it's a 23.9cc engine at 11.7 lbs and at $299 not a bad price. You can get the Stihl FS 90 with a 28.4cc engine at 11.7 lbs for $319 or the Fs 100 with the 31.4cc engine at 10.8 lbs for $349 . I myself prefer and run nothing but Stihl but but buying at trimmer like anything else is a matter of preference.

Go and hold a few get what feels good to you
Dont worry to much about engine size if your not going to be cutting small trees with it.
