Battery powered weed wacker/trimmer suggestions (bought Ryobi 18V lithium)

So, this thing has finally kicked the bucket. It started making very funny noises and the string would randomly let loose. Turns out that the motor bearings are shot. You can wiggle the armature around way more than you should be able to. I tried looking for a replacement motor, but I'm really not finding anything. The best I can find is the P2003 motor which looks like it mounts the same, but its only a 10" vs mine which is the P2002 and its a 12". I may give it a shot. But, some of those higher voltage models are looking pretty good. I certainly wouldn't mind a bit more oomph as I tend to let things go before I get to them. Suggestions on a replacement are welcome!
