I've been using my husky 435 and Stihl ms280 for several months now and I've had a number of hours to play with each and figure out what I like about them. The chain brake on my Stihl is of superior design. I can pop on the brake between every cut and reach one finger up and click it off very easily. The husky is considerably more awkward, the design doesn't allow for such easy manipulation.
This is something that will influence my decision a great amount when I buy a larger saw (a 441, 460, or a 372).
I will give the sideways balance thing to the Husky though.
I didn't start this thread to start anything between the brands, but I think the greatness of the Stihl chain brake deserved it's own thread.:lifter:
