Out of my smaller saws I find my husqvarna 136 is my "go to" for pruning, trimming, cutting pallets up for kindling and smaller logs of firewood. I do have an 009 (I think or it could be an 010) always been a good saw but rarely used now. I just found the feel of the husky better..
Cant say much about echo, the ones I own are still bearing the mobilco echo tags, and run in the 70cc plus range. I would really hope the newer ones are at least half the weight of these beasts.
