I can just hear the conversation somewhere:
Son, did you get the saw?
Dad, I thought YOU got the saw!
Son, you are grounded until you are 21.

I wouldn't hesitate to have that as my only top handle saw, the advantages of a 200t or similar are only noticeable in the hands of someone with a lot of time in a tree.
I did 6 months with only a stihl 150 (for various reasons) and I'm not sure I'm any faster now with a husky 540. I'm happy I have both, but I'd never be without a little top handle again.

He's dead right. I have a very similar saw (makita 231t) and plan on getting a 271t, the light wieght is SO good that you happily forgive the saw for not having the power of a 35cc T/H saw. With 043 or 1\4" chain they punch above their weight that's for sure. Since getting my 23cc 2.5kg 231t, my 201t/200t don't see the use they once did. Mine also fell off the cruiser ute at 100klm and survived with only a crack in the clutch cover. Pretty good!

Curious to see what it can handle. The chain was rusty and my hopes to find a new chain yesterday was unsuccessful in a 12" loop. Think im gonna soak the old chain and give it a shot
