what are the differences between jonsered and husqvarna?

[jpj6780]

Are many of the parts interchangeable between the respective JRed and Husky saws? For instance, say I got a 2260 or a 2253 and didn't like the handle, could I order a handle for a Husky 562 or 550 and just bolt it on?

Front handle wont swap, I believe.

The jonsereds have a reputation for better cold weather running in my circle of friends. I always assumed that they had enough differences in intake or something that they sucked in less snow but I don't know that. That reputation might be leftover from before the Husqvarna merger.

I actually prefer the angled handles on the husqvarnas, but I own and run both and in real world cutting for fun and firewood, I dont notice the angle diff much.
