Will fit what though? - that is the question!

i.e. if I get a brand of trimmer other than Ryobi that takes similar
accessories, will the ryobi expand-it ones that I have fit? The look
similar to Makita's for example, but looks can be deceiving.

Since it looks like its time to replace the motor bit of the line
trimmer, does anyone know if the Ryobi expand It attachments fit any
other brand of trimmer?

I don't want to lose the investment in add on bits, but at the same
time am less keen on Ryobi than I was ;-)

Note sure what the question was here, however I can confirm that Ryobi
style attachments can be made to work on a Sthil Kombi power head.

It does take a bit of fiddling to get the bits mated sometimes though
since the ryobi shaft does not have the alignment bush that guides the
internal drive shaft into the coupling on the power head.
