Ive had a 2100, which is the same thing, and used it regularly for 3 years now. I also have a 2400 and to be honest with you, there isnt any noticeable difference in power. The 2100 is also lighter. Everyone always seems to grab the Echos before they grab the Sthil Fs85. The sthil seems like a lead weight compared to the Echos. Although I personally feel like the Stihl has more power. Still the 210 is a good trimmer, especially for light use.
