A ha not picking a fight but I new I would ruffle a few feathers!!!! Stihl makes good saw's but from my personal ex I really do not care for the like of the 180 and class saw's, also the warranty is like a year on them. But then we all have a opinion . By the way my 645 solo will smoke a 250 lol but then that was just two saw's going against each other. we need data from over say a hundred saw's to really conform anything. I will say this Stihl makes a great bigger saw one of the best, but for me I will stay away from the 40/45cc class .fwiw, and imho, even their crappy saws are better than the majority of stuff that is readily available. Even though those saws are less than impressive they comes with the GREATEST dealer network and support out there.
PS you wont see me in any tree so I cant comment on the top handle saw's.
