I've owned both gas and battery chainsaws, and I can't agree. The 80v battery chainsaw WAS really nice in terms of volume and ease of use. There's simply no comparison in terms of cutting power with a decently powerful gas chainsaw, however (FWIW these were greenworks 80v and a Makita 64cc). I would say I paid more for the gas chainsaw, but the battery died on the electric one after only a year or two. Buying extra batteries to get a reasonable runtime and dealing with failing electronics more than makes up the difference in price.
