So difficult to choose!!

[arbaholic]

I need to get myself a nice new shiny chainsaw with a 25 inch guide bar. First thoughts was stihl 441.

 

Have used them before great saws and from my experiences as reliable as something reliable. However when conducting my research on price i found the stihl at £650, then saw the husky 390 xp for £671!!

 

Seems like alot of saw for the extra 20 odd quid!! So finding the husky at that price has made me abit indecisive. TBH its reliability that im after which kind of tells me stihl but i love the torque you get from a good old husky. . Just wondered what peoples opinions and experiences are with both saws!

If you shop around you'll find them going very cheap.

Previously I would've said stihl but I'm a husky convert, doubt I'd go back now:thumbup1:

im liking the idea of the 460, and husky with 28 inch bar

 

and now another saw has cropped up! lol. its like a nice torture!

 

Heard quite good things about makita. . would be difficult to choose other something thats orange though. but how cheap is cheap?!
