I like the blue better but I have both.The Dolmar (not Blue) 7900 is a good looking saw.

i put German oil in Swedish engines.
I hold up a German clearing saw with a Swedish harness.
My chaps are from Sweden but my hard hat is from Germany.
I put German branded blades from Japan on Swedish clearing saws.
And I like to run German chain on Swedish chainsaws.
Well said SirI like the style of the 550xp, 562xp and 572xp. They LOOK really cool, especially when partially apart. Like some spaceship from a sci fi movie.

Nothing wrong with mine, just getting some performance enhancers done.
I also wanted to say this about what "looks" good - and this is a problem for both Husqvarna and Stihl, and I hope they are listening:
BLACK EARMUFFS ARE COMPLETELY STUPID!
On a hot summer day, do you reach for an all-black outfit to go outdoors and work in the bright sunshine? Why not?
The last thing I want covered in the color black, is well, any part of my body on a hot day, but especially not my ears, which work a little bit like a radiator on an engine as blood flows through them. Do I want my ears covered in a piece of plastic that absorbs as much heat as it can get?
I would wager that across 1,000,000 hours of chainsaw use, there would be a higher accident rate among people wearing black earmuffs vs people wearing a light colored plastic ear muff.
Orange and Black "look" cool. The color black is the opposite of cool temperatures. As a sawyer heats up, frustration builds, and attentive-ness drops.
Peltor used to sell hardhats with orange plastic ear muffs. Why can't anyone do that today? Because black "looks" cool?
I think the PPE Engineers at Husqy and Stihl ought to put on their PPE and go outside and work a full day running saws in July and August and see how their cool looking hardhats of today feel for an actual user of their equipment.
We had a nice one. It was badly damaged on the 30 Nov 18 7.2 earthquake. Was sitting on top of a display unit for small engine parts and it fell around 7ft. Broke the rear handle off and a few other bits.
Lost a few other saws as well.
