I am a big Stihl fan and looked at their gas models and almost spent the money but
thought about the uses.
You made the right choice, IMO.
I used a top-of-line Stihl for a few days trimming trees in a manlift, and I have also used a much
cheaper gas Echo polesaw. Both were too heavy. I was often cutting branches almost directly over my head
to reduce the strength I needed to hold the saw up.
Electric is much lighter, and lithium batteries are tops.
