I haven't had any real problems with any of them and I like them all. I still want to get my hands on an 880 someday. Stihl makes great saws. One thing I notice about the rearhandle saws is the safety catches sometimes when you go to throttle, you have to have it just right to compress the throttle. It's probably safer that way, but it slows me down.

I run Husky and J-red too, they are great also.

056 mag II: strong enough to suprise me at first. average ergonomics
075x2: TORQUE cuts the same with 24" or 36" bars and I like the sound. Also one of my favorite full wrap handles.
084x2: Good enough that I like it in spite of being relatively modern. Good rpm for a saw this big. Never been beat by a stock 088/880
090: Old, no AV and not huge rpm but loses little or no rpm in the cut, not as heavy as you might think (anything with a 5' bar is heavy anyway) the feeling of easy power to spare cannot be duplicated by any other stock saw.
 
Ancient 041AV - starts every time cuts nice as you like. I'm going to pick up another one in the spring when I go back down to my cabin, near the dealer.
In fact I might just take a "winter" trip down there to check on the cabin and the 80-odd old used Stihls he has sitting in the workshop for sale..:)
