They've been out for a while here in aus, and husky's been pushing them hard offering free trials and hoping to kick stihl while they're down. I took up the trial but I wasn't convinced. With a 12" bar the saw is too tip light, might balance better with a 14 or 16" but we can't drive bars that big through our hardwoods here. Saw is also kinda left leaning too which didn't feel natural in my hands. Nicest husky climbing saw I've tried though, and wasn't down on power. They've got the interchangeable hand grips which might suit some guys, especially you big pawed guys.
