Does anyone here own a MS 280 or know of someone who does? It has the IEM system and am curious as to how well it performs.

From reading about the few that have them, they are pleased with it's performance.....

It works very very well... feels almost weird at first ,but it realy does hold the saw at peak perfomance no matter what (within reason) fuel, air filter, bar length or other conditions are in play.
Expect it on the 441 and others in the not to distant future (maybe next year?)... at least for California...
I haven't tired this yet, but I think it will adapt to muffler mods, maybe more.

that's my biggest hang up. I hate buying new technology when it hasn't proved itself yet. I'd feel a lot more confident if any of the Pro saws had it. Should be interesting to see which way it goes.

Husky has the 575 Autotune ... (similar technology). Stihl has the 441 in test...

I wonder how long till saws are tuned with a laptop....:monkey:
So when are we gonna see a 461 or 661? Still expect it before 2010?

Yes, looks like it is a part of the future - one Husky "test pilot" I know like it so much that he are playing with the thought of fitting it to a 372xp......:greenchainsaw:

We don't get to see stuff much before it comes out. I ask the sales rep about next generation saws and he just says "you see it right after I see it".

Talk about loose lips! The last guys they would tell are the sales reps!:greenchainsaw:
wrong answer!
i would go as far as to say its one on the most hated modern day saws by owners on this forum. wildthangs excluded.
I have only run about one tank through it and it runs great. The system works very seamlessly, you can't tell it is constantly tuning the H side of the carb for best running. I put a tach on it and at WOT with no bar and chain the engine will run about 14400 for a few seconds, then 13900, then 14200, then 14000. About every 4 or 5 seconds if the RPM and load remain steady then it makes a very slight mixture change and sees what happens, and then leans or richens accordingly.
