Stil ms461 and echo cs800p chainsaws

[spasm3]

Looking at these 2 saws.

The stil is 76.5cc and 6.0 bhp. Powerhead weight is 14.6lbs.probably around $1000

The echo is 80.7cc , i can't find and output rating in bhp or kw. Powerhead weight is 16.5lbs. $850 or so.

2 pounds heavier powerhead seems like a lot, the stil looks better in that sense.

Any owners/users of these saws?

I own a echo cs-450 currently.

Thanks.

I'm an Echo fan but I would get the Stihl for the weight savings. besides, Stihl makes a great saw.

I just realized i massacred the name Stihl in my post.
