Husqvarna 550xp Mk 2 feed back wanted

Interested on some feed back on the Husqvarna 550xp Mk 2, 50cc chainsaw.
Thinking of getting one with an 18" bar.
I have bigger saws, 60cc & 80cc as well as top handle chainsaws.... The main reason for getting this saw is that it can be used on the ground, and also from a rope and harness for the limbs and stems that the top handles can't deal with, while still remaining light enough to not be as awkward as the 60cc and above saws.
So I am Interested in peoples feed back on the 550xp Mk 2 who are using it for the aspects I plan on using it for.

Not tried one myself but , most people on here rate it highly over the older Mk one .  I think it will pull an 18" bar but instinct tells me it would be better balance on a 15" but that would limit what you want it for in a tree .

It comes with a 15" as standard, but states 18" bar is an option. Mosts dealers offer it with a 15" or 18" set up.
