kinda like the Ford, Chevy debate.........not one that is winnable, so we all just have our own opinion!

I will give you that one. All chainsaw will need repairs at some point. My biggest sell is Stihls are so easy to get repaired. My chainsaw is likely the most abused power tool I own. I have gone through several cheapo's in the past years. During that time I have used my father in laws 1996 Stihl more and w/ more abuse and it is a tank.

Never the less, Pete, If you get a CS get one that can support a larger bar. If you get a 16" make sure it can take a 20" later. Many saws have a range from 16-20" bars, but not all.

Impressive first (or 20th). +1 on signing, dating and keeping it. Looking forward to #2.
