I tend to lump all of the gas-related operations and maintenance together. From buying gas to handling/storing the can, priming/choking/cranking, etc. Anything beyond the 5 seconds it takes me to move the battery from the charger to the trimmer and back again is wasted time IMO. Four years of that easily adds up to hours, valuable time better spent posting on TD.

is a way more efficient trimmer than my 40v electric one.
Not going to argue that and don't know what you have, but I'll say that it's a rare occasion that I need to go full throttle with my Ego. It'll trim faster than I can move.

I'd be shocked if I have an hour total over the 4 years doing any of that. You also ignore the time spent charging the battery when it runs out and having to wait. Sure, you may have an extra battery, but now you've added more costs and storage to the equation.

As long as you don't encounter anything too thick, sure. There is no comparison as to what each trimmer is capable of tackling.
