I bought a shinny string trimmer because of the rave reviews on LS after having three FS80's and a FS90 for the boys lawn service. The shinny is a nice dependable lightweight piece, but I wish I had bought another Stihl.
They were using the biggest hand held BG 56? blower and it lasted two seasons of use and bit the dirt the last week of mowing season.
We have looked at the Efco and Shinny line as well as Kawi the last three weeks and we think (99.9%) sure we are buying the Stihl 600.
You might spend the money to talk to Leonard at Coast to Coast in Monett, Mo he sells Shinny, Kawi, Echo and Stihl blowers to quite a few commercial/big lawn operators. Rare a shop carries that many premium brands. Broiler(chicken) house
operators have to use the back pack blowers all the time, you see more Stihl 600's and Echo's more than any other brand in this part of the country. The same with commercial lawn operators.
