I just bought a Stihl Magnum the second largest one available here in Australia "so I am told" its great
I purchased it from Wiggies and recieved a huge discount allthough I did buy a stihl polesaw and small Makita grinder etc I ended up getting about $300 there abouts off of the saw which I thought was grand of them.
So if your near Sale Wiggies you won't go wrong on a Stihl, or a mate of mine runs/owns a business selling Husqvarna in york st "Eddie" nice bloke to deal with

yesterday night i went over to the shed and cut down an old chain off my sthill 026, to make it a skip chain (i took out 2 teeth and left 2 and so on) tried it on an old block of ironbark it cut straight threw it like a nife threw butter without any pushing from me, then i tried the husky 575 with a normal chain and it took 3 times as long and i had to force it, then i tried me sthill 034 with a normal chain, and it cut at the same speed as the husky.
but this morning i went and got a origan skip tooth chain and put it on the 034 it flew threw a peice of ironbark twice as good as the old wornout chain i had made.
that just goes to show that its not the size of the saw its the chain you use with it.
will go over tomorow and try it on the spotty.

The right chain config for the saw / wood is the key. No 'one size fits all'.
But more power is a good thing
