I'm not sure if this is the right place, but has anyone seen the new Stihl FS 310? Not sure if it is "new" new or just new to the U.S. It looks like it has an FS 130 powerhead with a beefier drive shaft. I'm getting an FS 130 in a few weeks with the bike handles, so it peaked my interest that it just came out. What would be the benefits of the FS 310 to FS 130 if they both use the same powerhead? Also, any word on the price?
 
I run an FS130 with a circular brushcutter blade. If I wanted a tougher unit I'd rather have more torque than just a beefier drive shaft. Of course I'm trying to remove small Osage Orange and Honey Locust saplings that are 2"+, which is getting into chainsaw territory. Otherwise my FS130, 1 year old, works great.
