Honestly, and after much debate, and experience.... I've come to the conclusion that the best saw out there for a climber (yes, climber) and a grounds man is an MS 250, hands down. If you aren't too much of a ***** or weak, to climb with it of course. Other stihl saws, in my experience, I seem to have numerous problems with them. I currently own 6 250's,2 391's (which are great also) and a 211 (which is terrible). With that said, I bought 2 170's today for limbs (ground and climbing) which I have in the past just used a 250 for. The 250 is the work horse of the saws. Beats echo, any brand.... And I'm Swedish so one would think I'm partial to husqvarna, and they do make great saws... But the man 250 is hands down, the best. The beat stihl (within reason) produces.
