Brushcutters any advice?

I have just under 5 acres some of which is being overtaken by scrub. Since my aim is to maintain mainly grassland I need to control the brambles from encroaching too much. Also have hawthorn seedlings and vicious dog rose. A recent walkabout with the WLT conservation manger has persuaded me that at least in the beginning I need to invest in a good brushcutter Stihl or Husquavarna. Any models best? Preference is for as quiet and as light as possible. I will be needing to use a bow saw on some of the hawthorn and ash seedlings. Bearing in mind that I need to fork out on fencing and a planned new hedge budget is always a factor. Any advice from your experiences would be welcome.
