Took the plunge. Dead handy.

So did I, after a period of learning how it behaves. It opens up the possibility of deeper cuts and undercuts. None of my other chainsaws have guards. Be careful and keep other limbs well away.

I did a few lifty and dead branches and some epicormic with it on first. Lack of vision annoying and you want the top of the bar for the really frizzy bits. You don't want to backbar heavily though. It's rough and it throws the chain if you haven't got the sidecover tight.
