I've gone the other way. Used to use an electric Hitachi (not sure of the power) but found it too limiting. In the summer I bought a Tanaka 43cc 2.5hp 2 stroke with an 18" bar, which is great. I've also been able to do a few jobs to get wood from places I wouldn't be able to with an electric.
Had a look at spending more money on a Stihl or Husqvarna but found they only offered a 1-2 year warranty, Tanaka's come with a 5 year warranty for domestic use, which seems the best.
