I think you made a great choice for what you are doing! Be happy with it.

I worked with a guy who had a 210, and he beat and abused the saw daily. It always started, and came back for more.

Get yourself some saw-chaps and a helmet. If you take care of the saw, it will last a lifetime for occasional cutting. Stihl dealers generally do not ####er on their price, so most everyone pays MSRP.

Also, use Stihl mix oil. If the mix is more than 3 months old, dump it and use fresh mix. I run my saws out of gas before I store them. You will avoid carb problems this way.

After you have a few tanks of fuel through it, bring it back to the dealer and they will readjust the carb for you.

If you purchased a Walmart saw, it would be throwing good $ out the window.

Be safe and enjoy your new saw.
