I understand the value of the dealer and have changed my buying habits over the years for some items, however I don't think it is bad to have "walmart" versions also.
Some consumers don't need the "better" version.
I agree- that is how I ended up with my Craftsman 18" chainsaw. I know it's limitations, not the best quality- but I got it at $50.00 from the store with full warranty (it was a 'store use" model).
I rarely need a chainsaw, and have only used this one twice in 2 years. Worth the price to have one around that can handle "around the home" type cutting. Any bigger projects require planning and I have access through my brother (an Arborist) to many tools and equipment that are designed for the job.
