I'm glad that vibration is getting more attention--it's definitely not a good thing.
I think more has to be done to change the way it is tested though. I believe (have not been able to get a straight answer) that the vibration statistics posted deal more with the vibrations from the engine than from the cutting, as it is deemed difficult if not impossible to get accurate readings cutting in some sort of standard medium.
If you go to the stihl uk website you can see that the ms 660 has the same vibration values as a husky 395xp, but if you ask anyone who uses both they'll tell you that the husky is a whole lot smoother...
Similarly, the dolmar ps-510/5100 have mediocre vibration values, something to the tune of 4.0m/s2 and 6.0m/s2, which are similar to those posted for a ms 460, but there is definitely a difference in use.
