Originally I was going to buy the Ryobi pole pruner skin which cost around 200 as I've already had several Ryobi +One gear but then saw the Ozito version with battery kit for 129. Considering the usage would be minimal, I didn't think the cost of the Ryobi skin could be justified.

It does get top heavy when fully extended but then most pole saws are top heavy. I like this saw since the head angles can be adjusted which makes it more versatile and manageable in a tight situation. The cuts were pretty clean and went through all kind of branches as long you take your time and let the saw do the work and for what it worth I think it was well worth the cost so far.
