My 10 yr old Homelite BC800 finally gave up the ghost the other day. I am in need of a new replacment gas line trimmer. I have narrowed my brand choice to either stihl or echo. Which brand is better overall. I have read that some stihl products are made in china. Right now i am steering towards echo because of a higher warranty. Two models i have researched include the Echo GT-225 and the Stihl FS45. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
