what about a ms 22 c from dolmar got a dealer in your area the net shows them at 259. oo straight shaft and just over 8 pounds .
Well I'm not sure about the dealers in your area but around here Husky dealers are hard to find. We do have a couple of local hardware stores that carry Husky but they don't carry any parts. So that is something I would take into consideration.
323 is the same powerhead minus a guard and a different trimmerhead. 326 comes with a ball bearing bump, t35x head whereas the 323 is a non bearing t35. Don't worry, hardly any other trimmer on the market has bearings in the head. It helps extend its life, nice design. The difference in price is like $20-30 and worth it but if it's not available then don't worry, the 323 is perfectly fine.

Don't overlook the Shindaiwa trimmers...
ive ran about every brand there is. i love shindiawa but they are on the pricey end. personally at the moment i have a makita RBC251 and at like 8.8 pounds i love it to death. it has good power to weight. but saddly my pervious unaware self, has run cheap ethanol fuel and cheap mix in it without knowing the damage it can cause. so after inspection, its on its last legs. im debating a rebuild of it but i dont know yet. i also am currently looking at a new one. the 326 is awsome, little heavier than mine but overall nice. even has a fully adjustable carb, unlike my makita. and can also take a blade. the 100rx sounds to be a monster at 31cc and 10 pounds but not beingable to handle a blade, and the lightend driveshaft is a turn off for me. but i would bet in thick grass it just blows it like its cutting butter. with the price diffrence imay end up getting the 326. and may be in tune for a port job. either one are good trimmers. but its hard for me to part with that 8.8 pounds when we have 16 yards to keep up.
in my opinion for your case, a 326 or 100rx for everday trimming in yards. after a while that weight cathces up
Stihl's FS250 is all my guys run...we service 80 yards a week and I've got 4 of them now. They've replaced all of my FS 90 junk POS 4 mix engines and I'll never have anything but 250's again.
I just went and looked at the 323 and really liked it and it only weighs 9lbs!
I have a Husqvarna 326L and i like it it about 9lbs i bought it last year for $299 and you can buy a blade kit for it.

Just sayin , landscapers here swear by em. I have one for my few acres , no complaints at all , pull it and go.
Had a stihl trimmer previous , not so much.
Oh,.. check out the quick change spool on them too...very nice.
Love it. Actually liked the 323l better. Both seem to weigh next to nothing and they rip.
Wouldnt buy any trimmers but Husky or Redmax.
