Echo 451VL... Opinions?

[bplust]

Just picked up an Echo 451VL for $15. Didn't really need it, but it's a cool looking saw and it weighs a ton, so I'm assuming it's well built. Needs a carb kit, and that looks like about it. It's in real nice shape as far as I can see so far.

It's my first Echo, I was wondering what people thought about it.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
