Default Petrol strimmer / brush cutter recommendations

Long - must reach the ground when I am standing up - something most
tools of this sort seem to fail to do!

Usage will be relatively light - an hour a week perhaps trimming edges,
round and under trees etc.

It would be handy if it could take a hedge trimmer attachment - I have
one tall evergreen hedge about 60' long that could use the occasional
taming. The extra reach would be handy - I don't have a hedge trimmer at
all at the moment.

Any recommendations?

I found a strimmer made a decent hedge trimmer anyway..

They are all much of a muchness really. Try and get one that feels
balanced to your height. They are heavy *******s to use over long periods.
