Opinions? The 400 weighs a little more, but more power plus pro construction. Is it too heavy though.

I keep seeing the CS-40o and also the CS-450 around for under $200. Too big?
 
I have a 310 muffler modded and limiters removed, and for me that's the perfect size. I use a 12 inch quarter tip carving bar.
 
Thanks for the replies. I got the Echo CS-400 out of the trading post. Heavier than I wanted, but the deal was just too good. I'm still in the range I want to be in and it appears plenty of carvers use the same saw. There are readily available carving bars for this model, which will make things easier should I choose to go that route instead of the stock bar.
