I grabbed a few of the husqy chains last Summer. They are comparable to stihl rs chain as far as durability. Oregon chain hasn't really impressed me as of late. Even their semi chisel chain doesn't stay as sharp as long as full chisel stihl or the new husqy chain. I want super impressed with the first sharpening of the husqy chain as it's a square grind from factory. Took considerably longer to file to a round profile then what I would have liked. Once it was sharpened the first time touch up with a good file has been relatively easy. If I went solely based on price, I will keep getting the husqy chain in full chisel, throw it on the grinder right out of the box and convert to round ground. Will be interesting to see if that stihl hex whatever chain cones to market if thats any better then the current offerings.
