Thanks guys. I would love a Husky but its a little steep for me to justify with what I will use it for (Translation =the wife would kill me). Same with Stihl. I have read some good things about Homelite and Echo as well as some decent reviews of some of the Poulan's. Basically the race is down to Homelite, Echo, or Poulan. I have a wider selection of Homelite and Poulan but there is a small selection of Echo (I belive it was the 3450 I saw). It's not urgent yet (my Mculloch is still breathing but labored) so I will see if anyone else has any input before I make up my mind.
