STIHL! Going on 4 and I have NO COMPLAINTS!!!! I would buy the one that is "split in 2"??? What I mean, it's split so it doesn't vibrate as much. The store will know what I am talking about. I think mine's a 270, 260 or a 290 or something? The one with the Vibration split in center of saw (seems like about 1/3rd to 1/2 of the models offer this). Tons of power, no problems, I'm fine with the price and no complaints. not to say there isn't others though.
