I'm looking at buying this Makita DPC7311. My used Stihl from ebay showed up & it is BEAT I'm in the process of trying to return it. I need to work WITH my tools, not ON them.
Anyway - the Makita is $850 at Home Depot w/ free diamond blade and 4.5" angle grinder. A 14" Stihl TS400 is $950, the TS460 I think is $1050 which is the same displacement 73cc as the Makita. Neither Stihl includes a diamond blade. I've been super happy with my Stihl chainsaw. I've got a couple makita electric tools that I am happy with as well. The only downside I see is that the dealer network is much stronger for the Stihl should I need any parts or service. Thoughts?
