It seems we have many Sunfish's on this thread. I believe you have the right to your opinion...too bad you don't afford that luxury to others.
You guys are funny (and way too serious)
. Certain brands are so entrenched in your brains you can see nothing else. If someone brings up a different option, they are crucified. The OP stated he wanted to run a 20" bar and that price was a concern. The 555's msrp is $640. The Echo's msrp is $400. Knowing that, and it's quality and performance, one would assume (my bad) that the OP might be interested in the 590. Is that stupid?
You want to talk about facts? I had a member PM me last night and he brought up a point I had forgotten. He can use his 10% Home Depot discount to buy the 590 for $360. There is no other new chainsaw on the planet with a price/performance ratio like that. That's a fact.
