[Rob74]

Yes I was going to say you where priced for the ps-420 :thumbup:

 

I really do wish I'd gone for that as its about what I'm out of pocket so far

Yes, nice saw the 420,

 

I'd much prefer one of them over any similar priced Stihl or Husky any day & it ports rather well too!

My local echo dealer has just offered me a new cs-390esx for £400 with two years warranty, Its for small work, topping conifers etc, whats the alternatives?

Hoping to look at some echos this weekend, are the 170/171 stihls pretty plasticky?

Not really plasticy but the 171 hasn't any grunt. I've a friend who's got a 171 and it holds its tune, like a brick floats. Ok for pruning small stuff but not much else.

If you get a 171 for firewood you will be doing a lot of chain sharpening.
