I've only ever had the R models, very fine conifer would be the only time I'd value the extra speed over the ability to cut the thicker stuff the R can. To be honest, sharp blades are far more important than which model you buy IMO.
I've an R and a 40" T................the R gives a perfectly satisfactory finish on thick or thin stuff. I'd always go for the R if possible... unfortunately they don't do a 40" R version. The T is hopeless at going through anything thicker than your little finger.
I'd say that trimming is up to pencil thickness, anything between that and thumb size is cutting. just got a new echo Hc-341es for trimming it's great, cutting useless. In answer to your question new growth the T should be fine, R for reductions or years of growth
I wish people would stop using fingers as a size guide. All i can think about now is am i going to cut off my finger!
