    Was in home depot this week and stumbled across an Echo CS352 marked down to $185.
    I picked it up and had to really stop and go over it , but put it back, then grabbed it again , and finally just couldn't justify a tiny saw like that.
    It was obviously a return, a little scuffed up, but otherwise looked hardly used.
    I got my other two saws this way, both marked, down, the 490 was a return , the 590 was new, but $100 off

    My 490 is my little saw, and I'm finding the 20" bar on it is nice for limbing , as I don't have to bend over. the 352 only had a 16" bar .
    I had a cs400 before and it just didn't have the grunt I wanted for all the oak and maple around here, the 490 has enough , though I prefer the 590 for most cutting .
    I just can't see the need for a puny saw. :)
