I've been trying to get my hands on one of these for months and it finally happened today. I've only fired it up the one time to warm it up. It's not yet seen wood.

Here's where it gets REALLY interesting, at least to me! Stihl has set a new standard with the weight of this saw! It's only 4 oz heavier than a MS241C and 7 oz lighter than a NE 346XP!
I'll hopefully be tearing into this saw tomorrow or Saturday.
Looks like a sweet saw. I wouldnt wanna get it dirty.lol

That's a good lookin little bugger Brad, poor little fella don't know his life's bout to change forever 
This gets even better. It does not appear to be rev limited. It hit as high as 14,400 on both my Stihl EDT7 and Tiny-Tach Fast-Tach. This is looking promising!
You going to "gut it"??

Handling comparisons should be interesting.
It doesn't need a kickstand
Compression is 155 after cooling off.
It started on the first pull this time.

Don't need one but want one. There is suppose to be a difference between needing and wanting right?
Maybe not in chainsaws.

None whatsoever
Was it cold blooded the first time out?
Not really. A few blips of the throttle and ready to go.
