I called a third shop that services Dolmars, and they, too, said that it was hard to get parts for them. The comment was unsolicited, too, like the first comment out of the guy's mouth.
I did not want to be waiting around for parts, especially since I have to plan a couple of weeks in advance to get time to cut wood, so I went with Husky and paid a little extra with the return of the other saw.
The 359 probably isn't as well thought-of as the 5100 or the 346xp, but I think it will suit my needs perfectly: dependable, pretty powerful, fairly fast. Maybe not the best in some folks' eyes, but good.
I only had it home for no more than five minutes when my son fell on one of our garden boxes and tore a hole in his lip, so a great day of driving around in the mountains and getting a cool new saw was offset by the emergency room trip, watching my boy get stitched up, and falling in bed just before midnight.
