The white ones look better than the blue ones, that's for sure. Have you measured the compression on it yet? The early ones just wouldn't wake up unless you got the gasket out of there.

They are getting closer, but at $400+ also closer in price. But a new 372XT is up to a grand now, so still a deal in a way. I'll bet they'll sell a boat load of those carbon fiber top and side covers once they start listing them as spare parts. They'd look sharp on an orange saw.

One thing we were discussing in the store yesterday is that some users are going to look at these saws if for no other reason than the lack of availability of the real ones. Especially stihl as they have been hit harder than Husky.

Short block heaven right there! I can't run the big powerhead saws too long myself. My Jonsered 920/930 saws usually get the nod when something bigger than 70cc is needed. I get that big saws are cool and macho, but for guys doing tree work, there are some small saw models that they don't want to let go of. 346 for sure, and for guys old enough to remember them, 242's. Farmertec seems to ignore most of the smaller Huskys. Was the 272 really something everyone was waiting for? A 262 on the other hand would hit a different market segment and probably be a home run for them.
