I didn't say anything until the 290 was compared to the 359 as near equal in the cut. I've always stood by the ms290, even though I cant stand the saw myself, understanding it had its place. However, when someone makes a statement as fact, without actually even having a qualified opinion, I felt I needed to ask if he'd actually run a 359.
Then to make the statement that most stihl saws are built in the USA just made me smile.
No one compared a 290 to a mod 359, since the 290 is no more. I said a stock 291 (the 290 replacement) and a stock 359 would be close.
