Power to weight ratio on the 462 c-m does look very good but time will tell how it holds up now that they've dropped this 70cc saw close down to 13 lbs. I handled the full wrap one the other day at the dealer but ignoring the extra handle size, it felt only a bit bulkier than the 562xp, and only slightly heavier. Certainly felt good to me and I like a light saw when on the hill all day . . . haven't run one yet.
The extra 10cc should be a nice plus but the price is hard to justify when my 562xp cuts most of what I need very well. For 60cc saw, the 562xp wins but now that we have a 70cc saw so close in weight, this saw may be a game changer. I'm tempted to get one, but it's the time of year to spend on kids and grand kids, so I won't be smuggling a new saw in through the garage this year.
But, . . . . 2019 is just around the corner
