I bought a used 3.5 HP mtd walk behind edger it really is quite nice has a blade shut off feature lots of height adjustments 4 wheels lots of power and I put a star style 3point blade on it works like a dream I realize its not a big name but for the amount I use it (usually the first over grown edge) its perfect.
Second I finally got it running and working great. Haven't actually had the opportunity to use it but am excited. It's a walk behind weed eater had a 3.5 Hp tecumseh that had a lot of valve problems. I stuck a spare 6.5 HP briggs on it with a little bigger pulley. Can use 155.0 mm string and has a custom throttle control replacing the govenor

Looks good. I had the same idea on a wheeled edger. Sometimes the Stihl really struggles with real overgrown grass.
I've seen some situations the trimmer would be good for.
