May be a good saw for an individual that will baby the saw, but Mac's don't stand up to daily production use (6 to 7 hours per day - 5 to 6 days a week.)
The "plastic" Macs are not what they could be. Back when McCulloch made real chainsaws, there were very few saws that could keep up with them, and most of those were Homelites. To compare an asian Mac against a Stihl is folly, better to judge it in it's own class.
