Brad, I was not rooting for either saw although I've been thinking about the 550 being the next on the list for me...but the chain on the 550 looked to be more agressive on the husky the way it kept trying to pull the saw in closer to the wood.
I'm not trying to start a war or give a beating to anybody so don't be trying to give me one either lol.
BTW nice vids Brad
The chain on the Husky was probably a little better, but the one on the Stihl wasn't bad. This vid isn't the be all end all comparison of these two saws, but gives a good idea of just how strong the little 550 is. It was just a quick spur of the moment idea Andre had, while he and Nik were here for a few minutes this evening. I believe the 550 would also benefit from a 3/8 chain.
