best top handle saw

[Hats]

I'm sure this question has been asked over and over again but I want a new top handle and I'm stuck. I have a me 150 which has a broken oil pump which seems to be common so while that's being fixed I thought I will give the new 193 a go but after 1 day. Pumps broke. Same part as the 150= so I'm thinking is this just guna keep happening? so I think I will take it back. So shall I get the husky xp? 201? Heard there **** unreliable or an old 200t or anything else: I'm open to suggestions. Cheers just want a reliable saw is that to much to ask. Ffs

I have a 201t as my own saw and a 540xp provided by work - the 201 is by far the better saw IMO, not even a hint of contest

I have a T540xp and I love it. It likes to be kept warm though.

Best on a 14" bar as it's a bit twitchy on a 12" in the cut.

I don't throw it on the strop much,

My oppo uses a ms201t with the Stihl upgrade and the 540 is the superior saw.

The Echo 360 is a lovely no frills solid built saw, the newer 201 stihl is also a fine saw, I have not used the Husky enough to pass comment.
