I haven't seen a comparable backpack electric blower, but for my backyard the one I got is more than enough and I have a lot of overhanging trees.

Things are progressing quickly though, soon enough you should be able to get one for your needs. Also the lower noose level is nice.

The little ones were great for clearing snow off roofs and used the same batteries as the tools we used. But if you buy a big one now you've also got to Invest in a new battery ecosystem. Then you may as well buy an electric chainsaw and pole saw/weed whacker. And now does the entire ecosystem make sense to switch yet?
