Runs nice. Comparing to the older CS-500 it has a lot less vibrations on idle. Comparing to the CS-510 it has more power at any revs. My friend uses it daily in the forest since august 2015 - nothing wrong happened except usual forester scratches :) And yes, as usually it takes few tanks to unleash the full power - it's really noticeable.

Well, that same guy I mentioned was given a 620SX for evaluation. Obviously more power at the price of more weight. As he spends all day in the woods, he chose a smaller one - fully equipped it's couple kilos lighter - easier on your back and really nimble when cutting branches. Of course if you intend to work on bigger trees and spend most of the time bucking it - 620 will shave off some time :)
