No sh*t?
That's seems like a good idea. Any 50cc saw against a 60cc saw seems like it would be pretty conclusive. Are you just not paying attention?
If I were closer I'd run my 600p against a 362.
I own 2 stihl saws and I like them both, particularly my 460, but I also own a couple echo saws. My 600p gets used more than my other saws combined, and the fact is, it's a great saw. People here are just saying that the new echo pro saws are worthy of a little respect inasmuch as they are a good product. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy one, but you do yourself credit in recognizing a good product when you see it.
Why are some people so threatened by echo? I don't get it.
An Echo 600p would get blown away by a Stihl MS 362. 'Nuff said. However, I believe the 600p costs less and is probably a good buy. Your choice.
