OK, I hate to be 'that guy' but have you looked at this...

A little pricey, BUT it is an excuse to buy a tool, AND you can use it for 
a lot of other things.  I have this model and I run a firewood farm.  My 
jaw dropped the first time I use this thing.

It is a beast, the batteries do last long.  The kerf is very narrow, so I 
think that is why the performance is so great.

Arguments for...

-It's way safer than a gas powered unit
-You do not need to worry about extension cords (if you are making this 
augment to an SO, also add "Honey, if I accidentally nick the wire with 
the chainsaw, I might get electrocuted.  You don't want that, do you?)*
-Instead of being 'ashamed' of the electric saw, you get to proclaim this 
awesomeness
-the batteries are compatible with other Dewalt items, SO there is 
possible more tool goodness to come.
-Did I mention bragging rights?
-You can even use to it trim wood to use in projects, like if you make 
bowls, carvings or pens on a lathe (I do use this for it.)
-You can use it inside if you need to do demo/home repair
-It's Dewalt, so that is cool

Just some food for thought.

*= I'm a 47 year old bachelor.  I do not know anything about long term 
marriages,so this may not work.  YMMV.
