ECHO 2511 Is a STIHL OR SUGIHARA Bar and Chain best ?

Just wondering what you prefer on your ECHO 2511  climbing saw:

 

The STIHL 10" Bar and STIHL  1/4" .043 chain    OR THE     10″ Sugihara bar with Sugihara 1/4 .043 chain ?

The saw came with almost a carving bar supplied and the standard 3/8 chain, which is aggressive to say the least - perfect for dismantling though.

 

Time for a 2nd saw while offers are still about.

I'm running the sugihara bar and chain. I'm not 100% convinced in all honesty, the chains aren't perfectly sharp from new so need a little touch up, first chain I had snapped and the chain is over £20. If was buying today i'd get the stihl setup and I may switch when the bar wears out

Stihl Set up is working well, could not get on with the echo bar after using 150’s ... target pruning is spot on again now we made a swap.

I take your point as we have 150's also and the 3/8 is too aggressive for target pruning. 

 

Just another link in the Stihl 150 chain and I can't recall the mod required on the Stil bar to allow it to fit the 2511 - additional hole drilled I recall from the Tiny Echo historic thread?
