Looks like this Dewalt chainsaw, DCCCS620B, tool only is $129 w/ free shipping. Amazon has it at $163, found on eBay for a couple bucks more. Not a frequent poster, just in the market for one.
How does the 20v perform? I have my eye on the 60v and will jump when a deal comes by

Skip this & get the 60V - you won't regret it as it replaces the gas powered.
The 18v works fine for smaller jobs. I have cut down 18" diameter trees without issue with it. It may take a couple batteries to cut up the whole tree, but who cares. If you do a lot, the 60v is the way to go though.
I love mine, use it out on trails. It's surprised me many times. If you are in an area or forest that doesn't allow gas powered saws, the battery saw is a great loop hole.
Just curious.. aside from the bar length? how would this compare to say a 20v dewalt reciprocating saw for light duty branch trimming? like i really dont neeeeeed a chainsaw, since i already have the receiprocating saw.

If that's the only thing you plan on doing, I would stick with a recip with a pruning blade and save the money.

While you might get away with it, thats not entirely true everywhere.
For example, forest service owned wilderness land (not national forests in general, specifically permitted wilderness regions) bans the use of *mechanical* tools and travel, not just gas powered, as per CCR 2326.03. We had this discussion with our district ranger and the forest supervisor, and electric tools qualified as mechanical tools.
The only exceptions under 2326.1 that are exempt are for emergency uses such as wildfires or threats to life.
This was last year when I still worked for the forest service, so pretty up to date.
As for the saw itself, a must have at 99 bucks when its on sale. Great for pruning and single handed operation, especially useful for chunking up wood for the smoker.
