Both the CS 500 and 550 EVL's were great saws in their day. Hardly a stitch of plastic on them, they are good performers. Only my Stihl 361 will outperform them, pound-for-pound, but then there are few saws that the 361 cannot beat in that respect. Heck, these older Echos were made 30 years ago, and they keep on going and going.I have a 550EVL that my Dad bought new some time in the mid-late 80's. I use it a lot...even cut firewood with it last night. It ALWAYS starts!!! Kinda heavy and does not rev like my 026, but it runs good and is very reliable! That little 330 must be a great runner too!

My lord that is determination at its finest right there. That's the logging version of David and goliath I think.
