Why would......

Power to weight? Not a consideration to most home owner level purchasers.... Nobody ever asks me that question.

Nobody ever??? I can hear Troll's screams here, all the way from Norway...

Price is king...

In the Stihl world.. substantially more sales go the the lower priced lower power versions...

A lot more 210 are sold then 230 or 250... Same with 290, verses 310 and 390...

It's been well established that Stihl people don't care about performance. :greenchainsaw:

That's how it is for us. More 510's, less 5100's. The majority of our customers couldn't care less about power to weight, they just want to get the job done.

People are amazingly stu... amazing. When I bought my first saw I was definitely a home owner / consumer, but I knew two things before I even entered the saw shop: 1: Get a Stihl, and 2: If it's a multi-engine-frame, get the biggest engine for that frame. It ain't that hard to figure out!

But, well, it was so long ago that I thought I would only need one saw. For life. So I guess I'm people too...

Perhaps, but when run against others, it seems they must care even less.
