Stihl is very good. Husqvarna is too, I've had a 455 Rancher for several years, cut down and cut up many cottonwoods, cedar trees in fence lines, storm damage, etc., more trees than I can count without issue, still starts great. If you'd happen to look at a Husq., avoid the 2xx series, they are Poulan saws badged as Husq. (Husq. owns Poulan). 4xx series are the ones to look at.
Looks like the 460 Rancher is about $350 as of right now on sale. Tough to beat for the price. Not a light saw, but a good solid one. Copy the whole line of course. http://vminnovations.com/Product_46905/Husqvarna-460-Rancher-18-Inch-60-3cc-3-2Hp-Gas-Powered-Chain-Saw.html?sdtid=7182546&code=KHHT7C This is a VERY reputable company to order from. It has great reviews, if I needed a new one I wouldn't hesitate, except I use a 20" bar. 440e is a bit cheaper and reviews aren't quite as good. Here are reviews on the 460 http://www.amazon.com/Husqvarna-460-Rancher-20-Inch-Compliant/product-reviews/B003CJTWDW/ref=cm_cr_pr_top_recent?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending of course take them with a grain of salt.
Here's the last deal discussion, they were cheaper after now expired rebates. http://slickdeals.net/f/7182546-outdoor-tools-sale-new-refurbished-leaf-blowers-trimmers-chainsaw-mowers-husqvarna-ryobi-more-starting-from-29-39-free-shipping?v=1 You can type in Husqvarna or Stihl in the search box at the very top for deals and discussion. Not many deals for Stihl pop up.
If you need someone to work on it, take into account that factor. I service everything myself, town is 30 miles away anyway, so I never considered that, though there is a place to have it or a Stihl worked on there. Stihl is generally sold at the servicing dealer, Husq. you can buy in regular stores.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
