I thought I was mostly immunized with CAD with the only saw I thought I'd pick up was a third 7900 to stock pile.
But then I starting playing with small saws and it flared up.
Bought a redmax 3200 CV (which I really like), then a 346NE (which I love), then a 339NE (which I am mixed on) and now I've bought a redmax 3800 and 4000 on ebay to try them out. The 3800 because they are going away and the 4000 because if the seller is giving it to me straight a like new 4000 for $140 seemed like a good time to try one out. I don't buy much from ebay and hope I don't regret it (haven't received them yet).
The other problem with small saws is that carving bars are pushing a $100 a pop.
I am still kind of thinking of trying a 200 (read handle), but I have heard some report they are a little buzzy in the hands and that is problem for me with some saws. For $600, I would rather try one first, and no dealer around here seems to stock them.
All my saws have stock mufflers as I don't want the extra volume, esp when running saws non stop (literally) for a few hrs at a time. Too bad I can't tolerate the extra noise, as I am sure these little saws would wake up with a muffler mod.
