This is an unqualified comment. Stihl and Husqvarna both make comparable saws but both make several levels of saw. This particularl saw will not compare to a Stihl ms362cm favorably and it shouldn't. Something like a Stihl ms362cm would compare to a Husqvarna 562xp. This Rancher saw is would compare more equivalently to a Stihl ms271.
I'd probably take a pro-level Stihl over a Husqvarna but in this range, I'd rather have this Husqvarna to a ms271.

Just a warning - Husqvarna doesn't even answer their phones anymore. Offshore chat only for help.

Out of all my saws, the 450r is the hardest starter vs my echos and stihls. I maintain them all well. That said the performance is good if a bit on the heavy side. Maybe I am just getting old, but my arms get pretty tired using the 450 for a full tree division. Anyway good price for a good performer.

For $5 less at regular price, I'd buy an Echo CS-490, except I already did in 2015.

My personal take is they probably over-ordered due to demand from Hurricane Helene in an effort to rush more stock to their warehouses. Now they're marking down what's left to get back to normal stock levels. I live on the GA/SC border along the path of Helene, and every Lowe's store in our area got at least a couple hundred each of the 450 and the 435 (and still 50-130 qty of the Rancher at any given Lowe's near me), and a ton of Craftsman low end saws as well. Same goes for Home Depot and the Echo 3510 and 4010, though I haven't seen those go on sale yet. Still a lot of stock in my area, though.

Have owned a Husqvarna Rancher 455 with 20" bar for ten years. Paid $430, including a nice case, but from a local brick and mortar store to assure good service.

Haven't needed service. I do all the routine service. The saw has been a tank. Fairly heavy seasonal use at our off grid acreage cutting down trees and doing firewood… and occasional use at home. Never fails me.

One big improvement though - I use more aggressive professional chains and they work beautifully. Homeowner and Mid-grade saws tend to come with safety feature laden chains for less experienced users.

Chain saws tend to come in three categories - cheaper occasional use homeowner, mid-duty like the Husqvarna Rancher and Stihl Farm Boss (both well-named), and professional grade. Most homeowners are not willing to pay the big price premium for the pro grade saws.

As to Husqvarna or Stihl, what you have for local parts and service support might make the difference. I've asked professional tree guys and you'll find advocates on both sides. I'm not against Stihl - my weedwacker and blower are Stihl. One thing about Stihl - they're hyper-protective of their local dealers and attempt to keep their parts off online stores.

I own a sawmill, and use my Echo saw a lot. I absolutely love it. Only problem I've had is the pull cord ripped after 3 years of very heavy use. Still original spark plug, and filters. Probably time to change them!

The real question of durability is . . . Will it survive PRIME shipment that gets held off until they're sure it's going to rain then they leave it in a puddle?

It used to upset me, but I figured out it's a FEATURE of membership ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
