If you guys would put hour hands where your mouth's are you probably would change your opinion. Unlike you guys most people that buy this class saw want to actually CUT FIREWOOD not spruce limbs or timed cookies out of a 8 x 8 cant. For the money its a great little professional quality (mag cases) saw. The reason I tried the 18" .325 .058 combo is alot of my customers have lots of 21lp 18" loops hanging from older 111's and PS540's that they want to have use for when they bought their PS5100's wearing 3/8" they don't want to use the .325 on them....... So not this PS420 will be able to use the 21lp 64 or 72 driver loops they already have. To me this saw reminds me of the old Sachs Dolmar 109/110 but in a more compact frame.

Aren't they aluminum cases, or am I thinking of a different saw?
I would surely try a 420 over the new Husky 440's, but I already have a 2141 that I love. The 40cc saw class is great for the general firewood cutting. I got it last Christmas and I think I used it more than my 2171 this year.
