Okay, I think I am going to try out the SRM-225 when I buy it and see how well it does. If I'm having a lot of trouble, I think I'll consider getting an edger, and also just keep my eye out on craigslist and garage sales, just in case.
Also, does anyone know if Echo dealers match Home Depot's price, because right now they have the SRM-225 for $199.99?
And could you recommend a line for these trimmers? I am currently using the Rhinotuff .095 line that is yellow, and it works pretty good.
Could just use this, of course.
