No, I'm not a "little off." I DID say you have to buy them right. That means not going to a dealer and paying full list price.
First, Efco was the latest John Deere branded saw. When Deere stopped selling them, many dealers were selling off old stock at great prices. I bought four. Deere CS56 is the Efco model 156. 56.5 ccs. I paid $290 each with 20" bar and chains - free shipping and no sales tax.
Second - the Dolmar 510 is available with a Makita label on it as the DCS510. I bought two for $320 each with 18" bars. Fantastic saws. 50 ccs.
Third - the Dolmar in Makita paint as DCS6401. I paid $520 shipped to my door with no sales tax. That with a 20" bar and two chains. 64 ccs. Baileys now has them on sale with an extra "upgrade" piston and cylinder. That because in Europe the saw is bigger ccs. It's "tuned down" for USA sales with a smaller piston.
In regard to your claim of "poor dealer support?"
OK, I'll say the same for Sthil. The only thing I'll ever need a dealer for is parts and my experience with Stihl over the past 40 years has been not very good. I was a Stihl dealer mechanic since the late 1960s and you're not going to convince me of otherwise.
Also note that Efco and Dolmar post full parts breakdowns and manuals - free on-line. So, you can see what a saw is made of before buying. Sthil does not, for many.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
