I think I'm going to buy this and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this model? I have mostly all Echo OPE and love them. This saw will get fairly light use trimming trees around the house and woods. My local dealer has it for $299 which includes an 18 inch bar 1 chain a quart of echo bar and chain oil a nice carrying case and a hat. I compared the Stihl, but it seems to get the same size 40.2CC motor and 18 inch bar,it was about 100 bucks more with no case.
