You may struggle to find something that ain’t worn out but any brand will probably be fine as long as it’s a well known name.

What's your definition of an upgrade? What are you getting rid of and what's your rough budget?

Getting rid of a PA93, want something with electric joystick and 5ft head really, not sure on budget, but they look quite dear!

You'll get far better fake if you look at the so called lesser brands. Fool no a bit potty over McConnell and Bomford Andy yes they are god machine but to me they don't command the price premium.
I sold 2 used ferri last year. They were equally as good and nice to use as anything yellow.
Loads of good brands out there.

Are modern trimmers able to be swopped from left to right hand cut like the old ones or are they built one sided?

On the whole fixed side.
The old McConnells were fairly unique in that idea
