I bought a husky 372xp. Good saw. Ran for awhile then it wouldn't shut off. Somehow the ignition wire got shredded (copper) and there was no way to disconnect it. I fixed it in about 10 minutes and aside from ruining a bar or two (use it for cutting dirty stumps), it's been a good saw. Have had problems with Stihl but other I know haven't. Everything has issues and I agree with your assessment of yourself. When you are spread thin, everything is a crisis or you don't have the patience to deal with it. I have always tried to be patient with inanimate objects and stupid people. it keeps my blood pressure down.
I would suggest, as something I've learned running a land clearing business for 20 years, to have a backup in place that will get me by while my front-line machine or tool is in the shop. that saves a lot of stress, too, but I feel the pain of a $600 saw. If you can find a used husky 346xp, I'd pick one of those up for a backup. It zips through firewood and is fairly light for its power.
