which Echo for climbing?

[AKTS]

I am trying to figure out which one is best for climbing, DH used to run a CS3000 but they don't have them anymore, which one is best? He has 2 Stihl 200Ts and need a new one, but can't cough up that much today, the other 2 have to go in for service and he needs something to get by. HELP!

I use an Echo 330t and a STihl 192T. Both are good saws, nothing spectacular, but good.

If he just wants something to get by for a little while before another 200T then just buy a 346. It may be slower but the job will get done. Pick one up, do a muffler mod, tune it up, and be a little lighter handed then with a 200T. After he is done with it as a temp saw it will be a great ground saw for limbing and cutting small or soft wood. Or it could be his "sap saw" for those trees he really doesn't want to put a nice saw into. Just my $.2
