regroup of former question

Husky 372xp while there still available, or Stihl MS460. Finding contradicting info regarding weight. Hearing Stihl is heavier but specs from stihl say it is the lighter one. which would you chose and why. Would really like to hear from those who have owned both.

The MS460 weights 6.5kg (as adverticed) and the 372xp weights 6.4 kg (vs. the adverticed 6.1), according to independent tests (DLG).

Here is more details from DLG:
H.372xp; 3.9 kw/9500 rpm - 4.1 nm/7300 rpm - 6.4 kg
J.2171; 3.9 kw/9600 rpm - 4.2 nm/7000 rpm - 6.4 kg
MS440; 4.0 kw/9500 rpm - 4.4 nm/7000 rpm - 6.2 kg
MS460; 4.4 kw/9500 rpm - 5.4 nm/6750 rpm - 6.5 kg
7300; 4.4 kw/9500 rpm - 4.9 nm/6500 rpm - 6.4 kg
7900; 4.7 kw/9500 rpm - 5.1 nm/7200 rpm - 6.4 kg

Just keep in mind that these saws were the European versions. There could be differences in US versions. The advertced numbers are the same, though.

In addition, there are a lot of members on this forum that for some reason find E-lux kw's and nm's to be more effective than German ones!
