I don't usually post about saws but just my 2cents worth.
Have used both Husqvarna and Stihl, in forest and urban arena, have to say love Husqvarna in pine plantation with square chain fast and furious, but in the urban forest for me Stihl is the saw I would rely on, runs all day no heating problems (and it gets really hot up here!) 200T is the best climbing saw I've used, with a smaller bar it absolutely slides through smaller branches.
Felling and td's are not what I like to do but we do have to remove larger trees sometimes and we rely very, very heavily on the 090, I have never encountered such a powerful never miss a beat cutting machine as that saw.
But thats just my opinion.
