Great I hear a lot of good things about the Echo. I have owned a few small homelite saws.The first saw I bought was a homelite I cut alot of wood with it . I have never owned the husqvarna but I am thinking about purchasing a popular one that everyone likes . I have stihl saws love the saws but hate the fuel and oil caps

It just depends on the size of wood your cutting

Oh yes it is I have saws that range from 45cc to 92 cc that are running then several older saws I have to get running
My Stihl is my least favorite saw. It's a consumer grade saw and my list of dislikes are longer. And they're all related to things Stihl did to make the saw "easier" to use. The caps, the "easy" chain tensioner, the "easy" start. I bought it because the Homelite was too big and heavy and I wanted something smaller and lighter. Should have sprung for a higher grade saw. Mea culpa.
The Echo is ... good enough. The 620 would be nicer, but it's a lot more money. The 590 is good enough for my use case and doesn't share the extra "convenience" features of the Stihl.
Favourite top handle- hands down the Stihl 200T.
Mid range firewood getter and general use saw- Jonsered 2159.
Big saw- Jonsered 2094.

I love to watch the big saws cut . I am too old to handle one of those anymore . I just buck trees for my bandsaw mill.I tried to only run logs around 24” don’t do that much. I let the other family members do the heavy work I just enjoy watching them mill their lumber
