Had a Stihl rep call this week and relay they had been playing with the tune of the 201 T and at least in the Midwest a tech update will prolly come out.
They took a 7" oak log and cut with a new old stock 200T cut time was aroung 6. something secs, don't recall the exact time.
New 201 T out of the box took 10. something seconds
After the techs/germans played with the carb setting which are the H needle out against the limiter and the L screw out 1 5/8 turns the 201T beat the cut time of the new old stock 200T. We were told to call anyone we have sold the 201T's to and retune. We tried it in wood at out dealer and it does in fact work, we did not have a new 200T, but one in good shape.
Just reading between the lines Stihl is taking very seriously, I wouldn't doubt if you don't see a CM version pretty quick or even a "I" model (fuel injected coming down the pike pdq. They are committed to producing the hottest performing top handle on the market, they are not going to let that position slip.
