Comparing apples to... wedges here? Displacement, power, weight, and vibRaTioN (left, right) all way different.
Stihl 084: 121.6cc, 8.6HP, 20.7lb, 7.5/7.8 m/s²
Stihl MS500i: 79.2cc, 6.8HP, 13.9lb, 4.2/4.0 m/s²
I do not see the point in comparing these saws. Other than saying that you can kick ass with a way larger saw? The vibration is in the
red zone on the 084 and 088, nearly twice the 500i. Never mind the weight difference. I bet Gary's Termite V-8 saw saw would kick 084 ass as well. Its a lot heavier. But there is no comparing them, really.
