I’m pretty tempted to get a greenworks in the 400-500 buck range, as opposed to the ego ($799 on sale). It doesn’t look like the quality/performance delta between the 2 is worth the price difference, but I’m interested in hearing anyone’s experience with them.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the issue with a single stage gas thrower that you want to get a battery one? I got a single stage Briggs & Stratton gas thrower 3 years ago for <$400 to replace a plug in electric one I used for 3 years (no more frozen extension cord annoyance and distance limitations). It's been great so far, albeit I've occasionally wondered whether to put in the effort and research to swap the auger from the rubber one to a metal one.
