Craftsman VS. Homelite gas chain saw?

lets say that both saws are similar in comparison as far as engine specs and blade length. Which one should I buy for occasional backyard tree cutting? (Branches no more than 7 inches in diameter)

Craftsman is a brand name that Sears uses for all the tools and equipment that they sell. The only thing is, Sears doesn't manufacture these products. The Craftsman as well as the Homelite could have been manufactured by the same company. So unless you know who actually manufactured these saws, then your guess is as good as mine. I don't think that you would find much difference between these saws, both of these companies have good reputations, so perhaps the price is the only deciding factor you need to consider.
