I have a half acre with woodland and keen to maintain myself where possible. I already have a Stihl petrol saw and long reach polesaw but am after a small cordless saw for quick jobs.
Most of my power tools are DeWalt XR so the DCM565 is an option as I have the batteries.
I also have the electric Stihl HLA 65. I like Stihl so the MSA 120 or 140 are tempting, the battery isn't cross compatible but the charger is.
I don't want to buy into a 3rd ecosystem and the DeWalt body-only is virtually the same as the Stihl with a battery.
Are there any major differences between them or is it just down to preference? I appreciate these are probably low end for pros!
