jred jtree I think you would be happy with you might spend little more money that a equal saw as echo but were talking sweedens finest sweeden knows how to build a saw I aint sure what the statis is exactly someone on this sight would no but jred was designed and made by Husqvarna not sure if that is the case anymore I did read that jred is not selling saws anymore if that is the case that is bad news.
Husqvarna sweedens finest makes a great saw also did you no that poulan is made by Husqvarna its just a cheap version poulan a long time ago made some asome saws I aint very fawn of what the sell today I prefer higher end saws built to last decades. if taken care of clean the filter use good fuel and mix the fuel accordingly to manufactor recommendations or mix rich. plugs are cheap cylinders and pistons can be costly and straight gas will kill a saw.
If you don't use a saw for a long period of time I recommend stating saw shutting it of draining the gas, restarting the say to run dry you will never have diaphragm problems most likely but from what I understand they make fuel stabilizes you can use to keep the gas in the saw.
I guess im just cheap I like to get the fuel out of a saw if I don't use it for a month or two.
good luck in your saw purchase jtree don't forget theres lots of nice used saws out there also just no and understand what your buying. good luck finding the right saw for you.
