I agree Shawn.

I also like the added control I have over the port timing.

For instance, on a lot of saws, I can lower the exhaust. I can make some of the older saws (think 262XP and friends) run like they would never run with a popup because of that.
 
Every Zenoah engine I have seen had a domed piston, but then again those guys are pikers and don't know anything about 2-stoke engines. I can't tell if the new 543 piston is domed though:

This is important as it is now a moral issue, and if 543's have domed pistons they will all need to be destroyed. Certainly all those GZ4000/4500 saws are all wrong and cannot possibly work, and their designers are evil.

I am amazed at the histrionics over a minor technical detail that maybe a dozen people on the planet have any interest in.
 
You are confused Chris.

A popup is not a dome.

This is a popup......note the obstruction on the crown?

Yes the 543XP has a domed piston, I just ported one. I still cut the squish band. It was far more complicated than a flat squish band......
 
The most important thing here is the ability to lower the exhaust port.......that is not possible when using a popup.
