    Found a slightly used Echo CS-490 locally and was able to bring it home for $225. Just wanted to see how it would compare to the Shindaiwa models. Hopefully will put it to work on some wood soon.

    I gave mine a muffler mod and love it. It's not the most powerful 50cc but at only 10lbs its awesome for long cutting sessions.
