[QUOTE="Andyshine77, post: 6477315, member: 4158"] For about $750/$800 you can have a new 372xp, add another $150 and you can have yourself a new 390xp, a grand and you can pick up 441, maybe a 461 if you can find the right dealer. Saving a a few hundred bucks is not worth the inevitable hassle you'll have with the Chinese clone saws. These things are really just toys to have fun building and messing around with, I wouldn't consider them to be real tools you can depend on. You will most definitely have to upgrade some parts to oem and even than the other components are at best subpar. Following the build threads and videos on clone saws has proven that. Stihl saws are always priced crazy high for one reason and one reason only, they have Stihl written on them. [/QUOTE]
