I am in the market for a 18" chainsaw. Have narrowed it down to Stihl or Echo. My dealer sells both. He says Stihl is good but he owns 3 echo chainsaws. I don't have a problem with echo products. He claims that the Echo's are slightly lighter and easier to handle. Does anyone have any pros or cons to either one?

Go with an MS260, those are dependable machines with good power and low weight. an MS250 may be close in power, but wont last as long. I run an older 024, same as the 260, except its a smaller engine size, but most parts are interchangable with the exception of cylinder, piston and con rod.

Just because Husky is owned by Elux, doesnt make their saws crap. I run a husky 268xp in jonsered colors, and I swear, its the most powerful thing short of running an 088 I've had to date.
on the saws you just keep pulling on, you're thinking poulan, which IS crap.
