Sorry, but you're all wrong. You're neglecting what is in my opinion the ultimate ne'er-do-well saw, the Remington Mighty-Mite Bantam. About 1.9 cu. in. of noisy, oil-spraying frustration.
Friend bought one solely because it was cheap at Bradlees. It was TOTALLY outclassed by my little 30 cc Echo 315. Totally. The Remington informed you that it was running by bathing the area in a fine mist of oil, the engine was capable of near-zero power, and when you had it up near its peak, the clutch slipped. IMHO total garbage. (Does it float?)
The Echo still runs great.
