They are heavy, clunky and expensive. And I've seen more then a few posts on here about wanting to convert m-tronic saws to standard carbs.

Probably the same reason people by Echos, Huskys and Dolmars!
Because they work good and in my opinion are built well.

Why not?
Preference, Dealer support locally, Fanaticism, Marketing, lack of competiton locally, etc.
A better question may be, "why start a brand war/ brand bashing thread?" We have enough of that crap here already.
Every single past and current manufacturer of Pro Grade saws has had, or currently has their "Stars" and their "Dogs" in their lineup.

It was a serious question. If you are going to troll please do it in a different thread.
After reading a few threads in the last week on here and handling a few stihl saws at the local dealer I figured I should ask what I was missing. It seems with the exception of the 461 most people would rather have the older versions.

If you don't like stihls, then don't buy one. But what's comfortable for you and fits your budget.
Oh here's one reason someone would buy a Stihl

leave the stihl guys be guy. it's what their daddy's taught them so that's just the way it is.
it's actually possible to convert a guy taught by daddy. i personally don't know a german that doesn't run stihl and they be completely non convertable. the ones that convert choose for themselves. i run what i like, don't matter if it says husky or stihl on it. it just so happens that most of what i like doesn't say stihl on it LOL i'm not swedish or german either.
