i have experience with both and say the stihl is the best. the husqvarna is a high-revving low torque engine, which makes it easy to go through small stuff, but when you hit the big logs it just boggs down. the stihl is much slower but has gobs of torque and will not stall when going through the tough stuff. my dad has a 25-30 year old stihl farm boss that's cut a tri-axle load of wood every year and it's still going strong. the only problem is that it's hard to find parts for it now.
