And kicked his butt!!! However... the owner of the 2171 said his chain wasn't very good and was some off breed of a safety chain. He did say mine cut faster, but my chain was razor sharp and I have my rakers filed down aways. Being the same sized saw and if they had comparable chains I would think they would be pretty close in performance. Nothing against the 2171.. seems like a really good saw, just some observations I made yesterday!!
