I ain't yard folk, but I would buy something that can edge as well.
No curved shaft.
Get a straight shaft that feels comfortable when you tip it vertically.

I bought a WeedEater brand gas many summers ago and while it runs like a top, it totally sucks for edging with its curved shaft.
Maybe I'll use the engine for a Giant Scale RC plane and hunt tweakers.
