Excellent...I ain't good as I once was but there was a time ....
Your comments about falling in the trap is so valid, it's scary.
However, this is all talk and speculation, when it comes to buying, it's a different story. I've made up my mind on the 346XP for a bunch of reasons but mostly because I owe to the young kid that spent so much time with me trying to sell the dolmar over the Husky, some $$$n(albeit not on the product he was pushing). He deserves it and in the end, I am sure all those saws are way up there in term of reliability, power, etc...plus Husky came up with a bunch of technology Stihl is now copying and I have a bit of sense that the original has some edge. If it's less expensive and time tried and has friendly dealers, that equates to a no-brainer to me...sorry stihl people. I am not married to any brand but Husqvarna deserves the credit it earned (even if they sold the motorcycle divison to BMW or the italians, bought Poulans, Mc culloch, etc.. their original product from Sweden is still ahead.
I take it saw troll is from sweden and works for Husq while Thalll103265526819 works for Stihl.
Times of War was when technology evolved the fastest...this site seems to promote this spirit from its better angle (nobody dies here I hope)...it's good for evolution...wonder if the manufacturer keep tab of this?
I am an engineer myself, I'd love to see people debate my creations over the competition, It would fuel my fire to conquer, shine, excel, show the world that I RULE.
