What I'm agreeing with Brad on is there isn't enough difference one way or other to make a hoot in hell. I don't use a saw as much as a few of the guys on here, but I run one most weeks at least thirty hours a week or more, I own both, can't tell a difference by picking them up, if I've got to set them on a scale to tell the difference then it just doesn't matter unless I'm just being anal.
There is no reason to get into a personal pizzing match about a few ounces, to get to that level is really uncalled for. It just make a person look like a, , well you can fill in the blank.
It's looks about as bad as the idiots that get on here and bash a particular saw without ever having ran one or owned one, makes no sense, but some newbie takes it as gospel, must be true, guy has been on here since dirt, maxed out on rep, must be right.
It's just like who builds the fastest saw, who gives a rat's azz, on any given day anyone can be beat, who in the real world of using a saw on a daily basis cares, all I care about is that they are reliable on a daily basis, that the modder builds them in a way that they are dependable, and gives me a good return on my investment, i.e. increased productivity without effecting saw life dramatically. I've never seen any credible modder on here say they build the fastest saws. I have seen their fan clubs make those claims, and I know the modder just cringes as they all know they can be beat on any given day.
McClaren, we all have our moments on here, I've sure as hell had mine, Brad sure has had his, but on this one you've went way overboard on an issue than doesn't mean jack sheet, imho.
