I currently have an echo cs590. It's a great saw and I love the thing. But it can be a bit much limbing downed trees and bucking up 12" and under wood. It's basically more saw than needed for this application and I'd like a lighter saw for these tasks. I cut about 15-20 face cord a year to feed my woodstove plus cutting out small trees on my 2.5 acre property. I'd prefer to stay with echo as the dealer is close by and I already have one of their saws, hedge trimmer, and grass trimmer and I've been very happy with the brand but I am open to others. I do not need a super light top handle saw as I'll never climb a tree to limb it. So with all that said what do you guys and girls think would be a good saw to serve those needs as I don't have a lot of experience with different saws. I'm thinking cs-310, 352, or 370. But cs-310 may be too small? Cs-370 too close to my current machine? Thanks
