I have the Stihl long reach and the Stihl short reach hedge trimmers. I am 5 ft 3 in, over half a decade old but still quite strong (was "Yorkshire strong" when young).
I only get the long reach out occasionally but that's mostly because when stood at the bottom of it you can't see what you're cutting! I prefer to get out the ladder platform thingy, stand on it and use the short reach.
Proud as I am of my upper body strength, they both get heavy after a bit! Hope this viewpoint helps.
