We use Stihl and Husqvarna saws daily at work, cutting off creosote poles as we change them out and we are pretty rough on saws, both brands have held up well for us through the years, the only thing that I have seen that I don't like is the new gas and oil caps on the Stihl's seem to need replacement far to often, simple screw type gas and oil caps were to simple and evidently they wanted to come up with something better, they failed in my opinion, making the Husqvarna my choice until Stihl gets this straight.
Agree partly on the 'flippy caps' - looks like a solution to a non-existant problem to me. However I have never had one fail...yet. 3 saws with them but 2 of them just finished their first season. Other one is around 5-6 years old and has eaten 10 plus cords every year.
