I’ve got the mk 1 husky t540. While I really like the saw, apart from needing choke if not used for 5 minutes.

I think the stihl 201 is a little bit better (not by massive amounts), but if you go for the stihl or husky I don’t think you’d be disappointed with either.

The MK2 t540 has the " fragile " bits beefed up and a different flywheel ( ignition timing I think )  I have a MK1 with all the bits of a MK2 fitted except for the flywheel .

Stop being such depressingly nit picking twats.

The little saws are great but are really a secondary saw to the arsenal. If you only have one topping saw then definetly go for the 201 or 540, no question about it

Get a really lightweight top handle first, for pruning, and use a small back handle saw for removals. Small back handle will be useful on the ground as well
