New Stihl and Husqvarna saws (201T and T540XP)

[rangerdanger]

Wondering who has seen the new climbing saws from Stihl and Husqvarna, the 201T from Stihl and the T540XP from Husqvarna. I'm liking the look of the new Stihl saw.

The Husqvarna also looks pretty cool.

The husky has been out but not in our neck of the woods. A little bird gave me a little information on it and it's said to rival the 200t. I heard rumor it's coming our way across the pond.

I have pics of a stolen 201T that was a prototype and was sold. It's back where it belongs, from my understanding of it.

Here is some pics in this link. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/stihl/ms201t/

I like the looks and ergonomics from the new husqy ! if it's true what some people here say who tested them out it will be as good as gold and maybe even better then a stihl 200T.....we'll just have to find out.

The 201T looks like a bit off a dissapointment, it's heavier and just a little more power, ergonomics look poor and I seriously doubt if it will be any better as the old 200T .... but also this one has to prove itself on the job.
