The 545 is a nice saw at a great pricepoint from some of our friendly dealers. Even at retail it is a very good value. A buddy of mine bought himself one and I thought it ran quite nicely. I hooked him up with a nice 13" bar/chain setup and he is sold on the short bar scalpel saw setup. I'm impressed with it and think it is a good evolution.
I'm not a fan of this two-tone crap, but unfortunately it is the only way to get a -g model. Very disappointed with that.
