    As an afterthought .... While I am spending the OP’s money ... while you are at the ECHO saw Emporium , and bearing in mind the cost of the CS620 , MS362 ,and 562XP , take a look at the CS7310 . Ya never know , you might like it !

    When comparing price, also remember that certain brands and dealers discount more than others. My dealer sells all three brands and discounts decently both Echo and Husky. Stihl just doesn't have the same margin so while I still get a break, it's no where near the percentage I get off Husky and Echo. Some dealers sell at MSRP like it's a fixed price and I tend to avoid such places. I'm lucky in that my spot does carry the big 3 and discounts fairly...

    Don't eliminate the 562. Go to a local dealer and run one. You won't regret it. Yes there were some issues with the early models, but that has been sorted out. Just make sure the build date is current and not older. Especially being that you've been a Husky guy, I really think it would be the perfect choice. There are a few dealers here on forums that offer great prices.

    I love my 562, but need to get the filter upgrade kit.

    You are lucky to have access to all of those brands. Here in my neck of the woods, there are several Stihl dealers, and that's it! You can buy a Husky 455 Rancher at Lowes, and sometimes Tractor Supply, which doesn't have anything on their shelves, right now. But to go look and handle a line of Echo's or Husky's would be a fair drive for me, probably a hundred miles or farther, I think. Not enough business, I guess, and Stihl has it wrapped up. I am told there is a good repair shop, about 40 miles from me, but there's a lot of traffic and stoplights, and I would almost rather take a whipping then go up there, but I might one of these days.

    Meh. I’m more of a tip-up kinda guy. Throw some bait on and walk away. If they want it, they want it.
    But it’s definitely a good buy on a great solid saw

    I bought a Stihl MS 362 over ten years ago and have never regretted it. There are people on here that have forgotten more about saws than I’ll ever know, but in my opinion, the 362 is the best all around firewood saw on the market. A 20 inch bar with a yellow chain will cut just about anything I come across. I also have a 461 that I use periodically but the 362 gets the most use. Now, if I can just get that 500i off my mind.

    I have one more saw to sell and I’m getting Stihl 400i... well unless I get a 261c. I’ll have to get my hands on both and see if the extra weight of the 400i will make a difference.

    Looks like you consider every other type of saw but a Stihl.

    It probably does, based on my lineup. Nothing against Stihl, however. I have never operated one, therefore I have nothing to say about them either way. I have operated a couple of Echos, and liked them and their value.

    Yup I love my 620. Awesome value, great saw. Saw suppliers had fantastic price. Hard to go back to stihl or husky.

    7310 is definitely awesome too. Would love one of those too!!!

    ps I still do a lot of trail work with my old ms271 and 031. They do just fine, but dang the price hurts.

    I believe the 400 is going to be m-tronic and not injected.
