I've heard (from LJN) that they're pretty good but not as good as a proper iron (although a damn site quicker).
But they're flexi shaft aren't they? I don't particularly trust a flexishaft to not be crap with the professional stihl kombi engines (i.e. 90 and above)
I also have the same dilemma, bought a victa edger (three wheeled type) a couple of years ago and was not impressed so bit sceptical about buying a strimmer type edger! Would like to try one out though.
Call me old fashioned I like edging with a pair of shears.
The golf club I used to work at had over 80 bunkers (36 holes), we used a tool called a Reciprocator for doing the edges...
The benefits from it compared to a lawn edger are;
No flying debris - clippings stay where they’re cut
No flying stones - reduces potential insurance claims
There is a thread about it on our american cousins website lawnsite.com link
To be fair if I was edging 38 bunkers I'd want that bit of kit.
We bought a Stihl edger for our Combi a couple of weeks ago. Only tried it once - needs some practice, so the jury's out on this one as far as I am concerned.

How does the reciprocator deal with just grass?
