2k,
I have two 372's already and love them; however, I'm always willing to try something new and thought the 576 would be a good choice. Hell, I was even considering getting a 441

2k,
I've had at least one the followings: 044, 440, 460 and loved everyone of them. I keep the 372's because they feel better to me, nothing else. I can't tell you the difference in speed from one to the other.

Just ribbing ya some.:D If I were looking for a strat and didn't have the 441 option, I would wait a few more months to see how the 576 works out to some real use. Either way, all of our future saws will be strats.....

Some have used them for months - they do very well in "real use" from what I have heard.

I like ya handy, I really do. So here is my advice, wait and see what the reports are when they get run a while.
I will never own a 575, I've seen and heard too many problems with them. But as I have said before, the peole that like them, LOVE them and will fight you in a death match for those saws!!
I'd wait a bit and see how they go in the states. Keep one of those 372's back in new condition (they will sel for a mint in a few years) and ride it out a bit before jumping in. Hopefully Husky got it right this time!
