My bottom line: if you buy OPE based on warranty or dealer (co-dependency thing) chances are you're gonna be unhappy with it.
Unless you're talking a certain Husqy dealer in Shokan NY, or Dolmar/RedMax dealer in Greenwich NY. There are honest, ethical chainsaw dealers, just not many. Down here in the CT Panhandle, all bets are off. So you DIY for win-win-win. Certainly not rocket-surgery. One clue- good dealers generally don't sell ripoff product (popsicles).
Would you beileve that hack mechanics at a Bridgeport dealer provided all the stimulus I needed to learn how to fix diaphragm carbs? Gets really simple after the first couple, and you don't get ripped off. And, you don't get pizzed off at arrogant jerks any more.
