We just got a Stihl Wood Boss (MS 251) and it has been superb. Easily out-powering some of my old chainsaws from the 80's that have "more power" and "larger engines". I will say that their easy start system is crazy easy. We didn't splurge for it and starting is ridiculously notchy and feels a bit janky.
However, the thing just works. Every state has available E0 fuel (near us it's at a farm supply depot), so use that, and Stihl doubles your warranty if they sell you their little $4 oil can and they pre-fill it for you the first time (guessing too many people forgot to oil their saws on the first run and siezed the engine). Unless you're actually on a farm, the Wood Boss is a huge win in terms of power, speed, comfort (minus starting), and cost.
The 18" bar is also more than most are getting out of electrics, but I bet those have a ton of torque.
