If you're actually using saws, one thing to consider might be to look out for a bigger one to extend the range of what you can do. If so, I'd keep an eye out for a siezed 044 which should turn up in the right price bracket (mine was £98!). You might then need to get someone to do a pressure check on it before you start dismantling (or set yourself up with a pressure testing kit) so you know what if anything leaks, and then give it a go. It's a good, solid model, pretty handy for up to a 20" bar and the parts are readily available.

Just a thought.
