Oh, I do have other saws. The 400 being one of them. It’s great for bucking, I can get it done more efficiently and save the back.

A good 50cc pro saw will do 90% of what you need, but will be under gunned on big stuff. Add a 70-80cc bigger saw.
On small end a good top handle, and a 90cc for big stuff.

You've had great luck with Echo already, and their pro saws (X series) are very good saws. I have a 355T (35cc top handle) and a 620p (60cc). The Echo 7310 (73cc) is also a very good saw and many say it has the best air filtration system of any chainsaw. The 620p with a 20 or 24 inch bar, and the 7310p with a 24-30 inch bar, would cover lots of scenarios.
I also have three Makita/Dolmar saws and they're great, but Makita quit the gas powered tool biz a couple years back so it's getting hard to find most of their chainsaw related stuff, but Schneider's Chainsaw.com in Washington state has a few Makita 7300 models in stock.
