The bloke in the vid is Brad Snelling, he is a very experienced US chainsaw tuner and knows his saws and how to get the best out of them - another guy with a wealth of info:thumbup:

Any feedback on the weight/balance of the 201, I hardly ever use my 200 anymore, I have a cheap top handled saw that I use I find it lighter and more comfortable, and am not to worried about it being slightly less powerful than the sthil. I even prefer to climb with a 171.

Agree Butler, 200 is just not the massive leap of faith its made out to be.

Look at the diameter of wood Snelling's cutting in his vid, it's pathetic. About 4 inches not including the bark. Lets see a vid of that ported saw through 12 inch diameter Beech, bet it's rubbish. A stock ms200 will destroy that ported piece of junk through large diameter wood.

If that's the case don't bother with the stihl. It's very similar to the 200. In fact it's probably a bit more bulky if anything... Balance is about the same. Weight wise I think it's identical. Certainly not noticeable lighter.
