Are self-sharpening chainsaws like the Oregon CS1500 worth it?

Opinion splits in the data we read. r/Chainsaw posters and verified-purchase reviewers praise the on-tool PowerSharp button for keeping a chain cutting acceptably during a long session. However, multiple specialist-community posts note the PowerSharp chain geometry is less aggressive than a standard chain, that depth gauges don't get filed down, and that replacement chains are proprietary and pricier. Convenient for casual users, divisive for enthusiasts.
