Yup. Same could probably be said of specific models in other colors as well. The 028 may arguably be the most beloved saw in Stihl's old saw line up that guys actually run, no shelf queens. Followed closely by the 056, 041, 038, 070, 090 and maybe the 084, though I suspect region may tweak that list a bit. Probably why someone in Germany decided to try to cash in with that 280 model, name recognition.
Absolutely right about other models having their legendary or most favored models also.
I never considered the regional factor, may explain why some saws get poo pooed by guys in BIG timber areas. Not for durability, but more for capability.
