I don't use the saw anymore. When I was using them, they were all electric because they were much quieter (Neighbor factor) and easier to control (Me factor). The torque wasn't the same as a gas motor, but, the outcome was basically the same. One other thing I noticed about the electrics was that there was no kickback (Major flesh eating behavior of the saw) as a result of poor approach to the cutting surface.

I switched to the lancelot and some outrageous burrs and life has never been the same.
