Since I've been running saws as a homeowner I've use Stihl chains. (Back in the Forest Service I used whatever they gave me). I recently bought an Echo. The chain that came on it would go dull much quicker than Stihl chains. The cutters are a lot shorter so it wasn't going to last as long. Then some links got stiff so I threw it out. I replaced it with an Oregon and it looks like it'll last like the Stihl chains.
Long way of saying that the chain's quality can make a significant difference in its value. A buck or two more for a chain that lasts significantly longer may make financial sense.
