The other day my Home Depot had a refurbished Echo 590 for $299. This thread is making me wish I had given it a closer look.

I've always been a fan of Echo but the newer orange saws look cheaper made to me than the old gray saws. We have an old 440/4400 that is my favorite saw out of the three we have. With a sharp chain it will run through anything but its usually reserved for cedar and brush clearing. An Echo with similar power to a Husky 55 would be a force to be reckoned with.
