If all "ported saws" were created equal, then the only downside is sending it off and spending a few Benjamins.
However, the end user is the real pitfall,
Poor chain/raker maintenance
Lack of tuning skills
Fuel/oil by end user
The list goes on, some folks cam break an anvil in a box of sand.
The closer you "port/tune" a saw to the edge the more likely an inexperienced end user will fry it.
Can't count the times I've been cutting with fellas that had superior saws that wouldn't cut fer **** because they had no idea how to maintain a chain, nor any idea their chain was dull.
But "some folks have more money than common sense" eh?
