husqvarna 550xp or 550xp

Not really a fan of heated handles they're a gimmick, if your hands are cold you're not working hard enough

 

I have a 346XP and a 560 XP. I didn't get heated grips because I thought they were a gimmick, and most of the time I don't feel that I'm missing out.

 

However on the few days a year when it's really cold, or those weeks when it rains like the end of the world, I curse myself for not spending the extra few quid. Next time I buy a saw it will have heated grips!

560 as the 550 is reputed to have bad electrical problems after prolonged use. it also depends on what the use is?

I Wonder who created that "reputation", and for what reason - as there have been no indications that it is true on any of the many saw forums I am on.......
