Can't go wrong with a Stihl.

Good points too about the "consumer" vs. "commercial" models. My father has a "Husky" that's been worked hard for roughly 12 years (firewood for three families) and has been indestructible. I know he bought it at a full-service, commercial Husqvarna dealer and not a big box place. Now he's passed it on to me, and kept his other saw (a Stihl) for himself, simply because it has fewer hours on it.

Ditto on the sharp chain: the minutes spent doing regular touch-ups save hours of cutting time.
