I've spent a couple weeks a couple times lately cutting cedars out of barbwire fence. Being beyond 1/4 mile out on my property, electric isn't practical. Small and light is very handy for all day use, less fatigue, for smaller stuff, and I have bad hands. I have a little Makita ea3601 for a lot of that, very light. And I got a Stihl 261cm to get lighter this summer, discounted sale on giftcards earlier in the year that I used for it, and later 17% rebate sale on everything/Stihl, it was "cheap" ($550ish). Also going to be handy. (would have gotten the 400 though but Bomgaars doesn't stock them).
All that said, anything I saw while looking into newer saws, 450 was "ok", for the price. With sales, my 261 was a couple hundred more.
I'll tell anyone here that's thinking of buying one the same thing I tell anyone about small engine anything…
ONLY run rec fuel through this. That's all I've put in it since day one and in 10 years of heavy abuse, both of them fire right up every. single. time. Honestly I don't think I've even replaced the plugs since I bought them. No maintenance, no need to winterize or drain the fuel. Grab one out of the shed when I need it, choke, prime, pull, go cut wood.
Maybe it's just a rec fuel thing. Maybe it's a husqvarna thing. Maybe both I don't know. But these saws have been 100% dependable since day one.

But it really does depend on size of wood. My 20" Husqv (from a SD many years ago) is not quite long enough for the largest hardwoods I've had to cut (42"+ dia).
This engine is big enough to slap on an Oregon (recommended) 24" bar if that extra reach is needed. Pick a low-kickback chain (limits "bite") if not 'experienced'.
Wish I needed this, for the price. A big TU.
