Just purchased this a few days ago

and

Total cost €335.35 including delivery which was 2 day express.

Both are excellent machines and the exact same models in a very well known Irish 'Tools' shop would be €608.99

It definitely pays to shop around

Finally decided to go with Stihl FSA 56. Ordered today so hope to have for weekend and get the jobs done

Only just looked at this thread, so I'm sorry I appear to be a day late with this recommendation!  But if anyone else wants a battery strimmer/brushcutter you might be able to order this online from UK -

Battery comes separately but I've been using one for the past 3 years or so and it's robust, well able to cope with going through even bigger thistles, brambles, reeds etc.  I have lots of stuff to get through in terms of sloping overgrown banks, spaces between trees etc.  Battery is 3 years old and has dropped now from giving me 30 minutes of cutting to about 25.  Takes an hour to recharge.  Brushcutter comes with a 2 year warranty. £75 for the strimmer and I think it was £35 or so for the battery.

Just checking for any feedback on the Stihl/Husqvarna mentioned above? In the end I didnt buy and just borrowed but looking at now...

Just wondering will any of the products be reduced for out of season?
