Makita represents Dolmar here, and they basically have no dealers, as far as I know. I guess it is a little different in Germany. The 7900 was banned from pro use in Germany in 2005 or so, because of "excessive vibes" that was supposed to harm a full time operator btw, but I never really cought how they arrived at that conclution - most likely some theoretically based number.......
Or more likely someone got a little extra money in their pocket. The 7900 isn't the smoothest saw out there, but it's up there, much smoother than the 460, 660. I'd say it's on par with a 372. The newest saws like the 441 and 576 are super smooth. I still say the smoothest saw made is the 5100, even though I don't care for that model overall.
NORM The 9010 is a robust saw with great low end grunt. A bit of an old school saw in many ways, but it's built like a tank and will likely last a long time. They lack chain speed stock, but they take well to porting and will cut with a 660, if not better and with more torque. IMHO Only thing I don't care for is the air filter.
