Which small Husky

My friend has a hopeless Husky 236 which has all the usaul problems with starting/chain tensioner etc. Disappointing to see such a poor saw under the Husqvarna marque. Having spent over a hundered quid on a service, it's as bad as it ever was. 

 

Time for a new saw. There's a 100 pound difference between the 440 and 450 but then not a huge amount more for either the 455 or 545. Anyone got any actual experience of these saws? I' trying to get him to spend around £400 rather than half that amount.

 

The saw is for home firewood use generally 8-15" diameter. Burns a lot of wood but probably only uses the saw half a dozen times a year. Thoughts please.

If you could get him to spend a tiny bit more he could have a 550xp otherwise a 545 is a good saw

As an aside would be worth running whatever on Aspen if only used a couple of times a year .
