I suggested that each operator be blindfolded to eliminate bias, but no one took me too seriously . . .

If you can't cut blindfolded what good are you

In my opinion these saws are about as close as you can get, performance wise.
If someone is considering buying one they should buy it on price and preference of how it feels. This 2153 and my 5100 have raced each other before when the 2153 was newer. The 5100 was a few seconds faster. Both broken it they are pretty even. I can't see paying the extra money for a saw of the same peformance but I can understand somebody with brand loyalty or and older fella wanting to get a primer and decomp spending a little more to get it.
Buy what you want!

I don't think there is a point except that they did it,everyone is doing it and it seemed to be alot of fun.I got my Snellerized NE346XP because I want to get my wood done as fast as I can and for limbing and up to a certain size it just flat out flyes.I have Woodland Pro 28CR .058 X .325 on it now.GTG's are fun but I don't care about times and how fast it cuts a certian size peice of wood faster than another saw on that day.If it performs out in the woods the way I want I will be happyOh yeah,the 5100 did not beat me,never will happen
Ok, so what your saying is sort of a sport, the challenge, the need to win. Now I'm understanding the urgent need for speed and splitting hairs for bragging rights. Got it.
My 2 cents worth-
I believe the reason for this race, test, unscientific experiment, or what ever you want to call it was not to see which saw was faster but to show how close they all were. GPT is right-buy the one you want from a dealer who will take care of you!

the day after the first wheel was invented, everything was fine. the day after the first engine was put on wheels, life goes on. Only when the SECOND engine got put onto wheels, that was the day of the first race.
Just because....
it's a man thing I guess...
any of the new saws are so good it is preferences only.
and a way good time on Saturday seeing big kids play with their toys.

Knowing what I pay for the 2153's looks like I need to start buying 346's from you!

Close, the very first race went like this:
And Adam bit the apple and his eyes opened. He saw before him Eve for the first time, standing there in her naked glory. He screamed get back, get back, I don't know how big its gonna get. A race broke out and the chase continues to this very day.

I officially give up on videos for the night. Youtube is ticking me off, vids keep hanging up at 100%, but not finishing.
Going over to the GTG link and get some pics up if that works any better.

:yourock:My 346xp is consistantly a tad faster than the 5100S, whatever rim, chain and 16" bar I put on them - but that has nothing to do with the fact that the 346xp is a much better saw - handling, balance, nimbleness in the woods and trigger responce is what really makes the difference!

The husky 350 just ran with .325 and finished with 62.7 seconds.
The 5105 also finished with 57.8 running .325
The time with the dorsal fin raker chain was about 4 seconds per cut slower than the rest of the LGX.

I say buy what you like !!!!!!!!!!! Im a true sthil man but for the money I think i would buy a dolmar, or if I wanted decomp and some other features 346 or the 2153! They are pretty much the same all around mainly prefference
