Well, after a month of reading and shopping which saw will fit my needs I just came home with a Jonsered 2171. I liked the looks of it from the very start I saw it in the dealers show room. It looks much better than the picture in Jonsered's catalog. It seems more compact than I expected from a saw of this displacement. The weight seems fine and it is very well balanced with the 20" bar. I started it up and ran it for one minute at home. It was tempting to start cutting but it is just too dark. I'll post again how I like it.
I hope it will be a reliable saw. I could not turn down the price of $634.95 for a saw this size. The funny thing was the deal Jonsered had. Just bring in any saw complete with bar and chain and get $150.00 off. Well before I went to purchase it I called a friend up and ask if I can take his worst junk saw to complete the deal so I picked the worst one out. He laughed and asked if I want to take a slightly better looking junk saw.
One thing I would like to get is a parts manual. Does anyone know if this is available to the owners.
I would also like to hear from anyone that owns a 2171 and their experience with this saw.
Be safe
