They also had the 455 Rancher for $329. Most Lowes don't have this on clearance, but it's worth checking locally.

I had several large trees around the house that needed down, so I got a Greenworks 80v, both saw and pole saw. I needed to be on the ladder to get some large branches before dropping some, I thought it would be handier without having to pull start while up there, and it was. Nice saws, plenty of power. But, don't last long enough to use "out and about" like I usually am. Enough for small jobs, a tree or two, with a couple batteries, depending. Plus quite heavy for extended use, which is my complaint about the Rancher too (I have bad hands).
I've got a little Makita ea3601. (I think that's the number...). Great saw, very light, nice power for the size, good for the little cleanup stuff, but cuts the full bar with no issues.
I'm looking at getting another saw. Likely pro for the weight, probably a Stihl ms261 or the next size up. Might trade the Rancher, simply because it has to be getting worn out as much use as it's had, and I'd like something with similar power and a little lighter, and would rather do that before I need to overhaul it.
My Maple is down, though not fully chopped up. I needed an assist from my 20V dewalt polesaw to get it started up high enough not to destroy the neighbor's water tank. I wish I got the 10" greenworks instead of the 8" dewalt.
900 acres is a lot. 6 is plenty for me.
Good starts, typically idles well. Like any gas saw, when maintained and tuned, it cuts well. I'd always recommend that if you're going to be felling on the regular and putting some decent use into your saw, you buy whichever brand has the closest service center near you. Especially if you're not into fixing and tuning 2 stroke engines.
