Be careful with the 194 saw. They are a clamshell strato design. Almost reminds me of their rear handle 180 saw but in a later top handle epa version.
Rods are weak if you ever have to work on it yourself. Be careful they bend.
My stihl 150T was built like the 2511 with bolt on cylinder to the mag insert crank area. But with cheap rod.

Poulan small plastic cheap saws even use a better rod then the cheap stihl clamshell small saws.
But sure it will serve you fine. Shame on already having to return one though. Wow.
