I can't speak to that particular saw as I've not run one & I can't speak to any new saws produced in the last ~13yrs. What I can say is, try to find something comparable in weight/performance to a Husqvarna 346XP, regardless of brand. That class of saw can do a lot of work without working you. I used it extensively, as a non-pro, as a bridge between an old (50+ y/o) Stihl 0-series & an XP262. It couldn't keep up with the 262 in bigger stuff but it was easier by far on the operator. I ran a 20" bar on mine for reach convenience. I'd like to think that there have been improvements since I bought my 346.
