re: Thoughts on this EGO weed trimmer with powerload?

I have a Ryobi 40v and have found that it is reliable and powerful. I rent a place out of state and needed a trimmer. Lowes is right down the street so I figured I would just grab the Kobalt. It was a little more expensive, but I figured it might be worth it. I was wrong. It just doesn't have the power of the Ryobi so I returned it and went to Home Depot for the Ryobi. It was a newer model but still awesome and almost $90 less. I saw online that you can pick up the old model for $99. Just my two cents and the Ego trimmer looks nice, but the Ryobi is awesome.
