Hi all.

Had a variety of saws.

HUSKY 350, 354XP, 353

STIHL 361

MAKITA 6400

Now looking for something new.

Or old.

Got my eye on a couple of good priced saws.

One is an Echo C500es new.

Dont know anyrhing about the brand.

The other is an oldie Stihl 045av

May even purchase both.

i got 3 echo saw and they are super saws light powerfull quality to i like them better than the sthil saw ive used

To be honest i dont know why i put the question up.

Its a no brainer. 15 year old Stihl against a brand new modern Echo with only £55 difference in price. Obviously the Wcho is a tad more.

My only concern is although all the 50cc saws have been good and little screamers. I liked the Stihl alot. 60cc and much more torque.

Do i get another 50cc or spend more pennie on another 60 cc saw?

The latter holds preference unless you guys can convince me otherwise!!!!
