I have a husky 372xp and a stihl MS460 both have been excellent saws. Which one is better? Not sure, both have served me well for over three years of continuous daily use. I would like to get a smaller saw eventually. Cutting wood on a pile is different than working in the woods all day limbing and such and the larger saws wear on you after lugging it around all day. Either brand depending on the model should serve a weekend wood cutter for a lifetime with proper maintenance. As with any brand some models have problems talk to mechanics who work on the saws as to which models to avoid, and buy it from a servicing dealer close by.
