Cheap petrol scarifier

Have any of you any experience of either of the following two scarifiers:
Einhell GC-SC 2240P - £250
or
feider fst212 - £300
Both petrol scarifiers similar size, I have been using a borrowed electric, however thinking of a petrol one of our own.
Major work on a 250m^2 lawn, then of infrequent use - unable to hire a decent petrol one locally - and all the reviews say they are blunt and useless anyway, so looking to buy a cheap one ourselves.

I went ahead with the Einhell, agree wholeheartedly - Lawn completely de-mossed - just waiting for the Iron sulphide to dissipate before I add pre-seed feed then overseed.
I have a couple of minor gripes - the wheels clog up a bit and soil/thatch/moss jams between the front left wheel and the belt cover - but minor things really.
