Last year I sold the Husqvarna 455. I kept the Shindaiwa 488 just in case. But for quick jobs, a cheap HF 40V Lynxx gets used the most.
I am looking at an upgraded battery saw and waiting for a good deal on one. I wish DeWalt made a twin 20V battery saw as I have a lot of their 20V tools. I do not believe their 20V saw is powerful enough for my needs and their 60V saw is over $300. By the time I add a second battery the 60V option comes to over $500.
Right now, looking for a spare battery for the Lynxx. It is a cheap saw but works not too badly.
