Thinking about going to pick up one of these for sharpening and portability. The Pferd comes with a 13/64 file for a 3/8" chain. The Stihl model, looks to be made by Pferd in Germany comes with a 7/32 file for a 3/8" chain and runs about $20 more than the Pferd model, otherwise they look identical. This would be for a MS 461, with 25" bar and RSC chain. Pferd model has good reviews, just a 1/64" smaller file, is that significant enough to go with the Stihl model or irrelevant.
Anyone else use these sharpeners. Worth buying? I have a Granberg in the garage.

I have the Pferd and love it. It's the exact same thing as stihl and works really well. As for the different models. I have used both the 7/32 and 13/64 on 3/8" chain and they both perform well.
