That is precisely my Hawk. It just does not have a tension release at the front. Tension is released at the rear lever. However, it being only a 16" saw it is only a short reach and works conveniently. On the 220 and 226 not so. Too long a reach, hence the front release. Everything else is exactly the same. When my 220 Ultra gets a new motor control it will not cut better, faster, more precise, less vibration than the 220". With the exception of the front tension release the 216 is actually a bit better for me as it is a bit shorter and takes up less room. Hard to say what I will do with saws. One or the other will have to go. I only cut small things.
