Buying a new edger

Hey guys, Well my edger quit this weekend, it was a Ryobi. I got 2 in mind the Echo PE200 the price 219.00. Or the Husqvarna 325EX for 339.00. I have the husq trimmer and blower and I'm real happy with them, but I can't make myself pay the price for the edger. So i think I'm going to go with the Echo. The only thing I worry about is the Echos shroud around the blade is plastic. I just hope it holds up. Does anyone have this model of the Echo?? If so how is it holding up? I will be using it on about 11 yards a week some with just drive ways I have 3 with a large areas to edge. Thanks Mike

Ok, thanks I'm gonna check them out. I think I'm probably just gonna buy the PE200 though. Because the wife is on me about getting her a house!  I been thinking maybe i' ll just go the cheap way out this time and mostly likely when I have to start replacing stuff she will have her house, and I think I'm gonna replace all of it with Sthil. I used my buddies new trimmer I can't remeber the model man that thing is sweet. His Sthli is a little heavier than my husqvarna but man does it have some butt to it. I'll let you guys know tomm. what I choose though. Guess I shoulda thought things trough before posting I just wanted to know if anyone had that model. thanks Mike

Hey Marshall, Well I bought the Echo PE200, I used it on one yard today and my own. I have to say I'm pleased with the power it has, i was afraid that I was gonna lack the power but it never did. The plastic housing seems to be durable, I'm gonna give it the real test on saturday. I would post a picture of I but I sure everyone has see it . Take care Mike
