I have a 280 with the second brake interlock on the rear handle.
wasn't looking for it as a feature, but it was on the one they had in stock. Now I really like it. several times have been glad for it. no etxra effort to use, very little weight difference.
Only down side is since I don't use that saw very often, it is confusing to sharpen: set brake, file, release brake move chain. what, chain won't move, yes brake is off, then remember the second interlock.
Can't keep adding features to prevent every conceivable accident, but would have been good here.
tks for the constant reminder of things we take for granted. safety first.
