any body want to chime in with makita/dolmar chainsaws?

right now the husky 455 is looking like the best buy for me although the 455 rancher is a howmowner saw--

. the dolmar ps5100s is supposed to be more of a heavy duty commercial saw than the husky 455 with a little more power but at a little bit more $

i think the husky is 3.5hp and the dolmar is 4.0hp and is a tad lighter with a magnesium case. i have heard from some people that had the 5100 that is is a good saw, haven't seen many horror stories on the net about it either.

the same dealer sells and services the dolmar.

i think what i am going to do is gow down to the shop monday and take one more look at the 5100s dolmar and if i can't get a deal on it i will just get the 455 husky.
