Also consider the Dolmar 420. When converted to .325 chain it well run with either and is better built!
stihl 250 -$400
husky 445- $430
What is the better deal?
Which one will last longer with less trouble and which one has the most power?
From them 2, Id have to go with the 445...and there about 100.00 cheeper in the states.
The ms250 is $300, how much is a 445?
300.00 at lowes or tractor supply.
I would go for the 445, they have got a few good reviews on here. I had a 250 once, it wasn't up to much, it had way too many problems for my liking.
Ditto. I had an 025 and it was okay until someone dropped an 8" limb on it. My BIL had a 250 that never did run right. Finally got it replaced, and the new one was the same way. He finally gave up on it and bought a 455, and he has been very impressed with it.
Wow. Going from a 10lb 50cc to a nearly 13.5 lb 55 cc and he's impressed? I may have some stuff to sell him.

A lot of people seem to like the husky 346xp. What is there strong points?
The price around here is crazy. Sounds like they are selling in $450 range in the US. Is this correct??? If so anybody selling them online and shipping to Canada?
Seeing as happen own both, I would have to go with the 445. It has a better anti vibration, is quieter, and uses less mix. The O25 does have it's good side. I use it on occasions with one hand, and with a 16 BC it is surprisingly well balanced however with a MM it is just a tad noisy. In the power department I would give the O25 just a bit of an edge, Keen
