28" tsumura light vs. 28" stihl es light

[Alex D]

I'm leaning towards the tsumura simply because its $40 or so cheaper than the stihl and imo the quality of tsumura bars is higher than the stihls. However the tsumura light bars are also heavier than the stihls and I am wondering does anyone know how much and how discernible of a difference it is?

@redbull660 did a bunch of testing on the lightweight bars. I'm sure weight was one of the numbers he compared.

Post 18 shows a whopping(sarcasm) 5 ounce difference.

a lot more to it than just weight... here is the in-depth with times and temps etc etc etc.

hope that helps.

can you tell the difference between the 28" stihl lite and 28" tsumura lite - I don't think so. Your saw can though. check the link.

I knew "tagging" you in my previous post would be beneficial to the OP.
