So I was at this auction a little ways back and come across the 7900 needing work and grab it. Then lo and behold there is this other beauty in a beat up old box. Well I just couldn't pass it up either. Now I know that the 7900 has its following here on AS, but it seems that with the Solo 681 there was some noise a couple years back and now nothing.
So what's the deal with this? Is the 681 along the same vein as the Stihl 361, raved about then drop because its was overhyped? Or where there a myriad of issues? I would've thought they were a good saw because supposedly Solo and Dolmar started working on the project together before parting ways. Is one really so much better than the other or just different?
I've had nothing but good experience with Dolmars and though I really like the build quality of this Solo, not having much information to go on is a concern. If you were going to keep just one of these, which would it be and why?
