Yeah the pricing doesn't make much sense sometimes. The 565 is £220 cheaper than a 572xp. That means it's the same price as the 562xp in theory, but with more grunt and much better fuel consumption. You lose a little chain speed and gain a lb but it makes real sense pricewise - do you want less weight or more power basically. Same price you choose. Whereas the 585 is much closer to the price of the 592xp with only £140 between them. 

Hmm interesting - that price for 565 must make it more the 365 was but I'm looking at Radmore and Tucker, seems 565 is £747 and 572 is £811, so maybe has changed since you bought yours?

Yeah I got mine for a lot less than 747 - it was mid lock downs when everyone was doing very little but supplies were still good. I paid £700 but I got a c85 chain & 5L of Husky bar oil thrown in. So the saw would have been probably £660 on its own? Its handy that Im split between 2 decent dealers and one is Sam Turner so I have a really good price locally to negotiate from. At the time the 572 was a bit higher than right now... in theory. I just checked to see the lay of the land and you can't get a 565 from any of the usual suspects, and only Honey Bros seems to have 572s at £919 for a 20" so its all a bit moot until supply is good again and you can ship around!

The £220 difference I mentioned is between RRPs.
