    Hi Guys -

    Looking to run one of the clones on my chainsaw mill. So was more or less set on getting the G888 (122cc) and see that there is a G070 (105cc ) for about 200 bucks less. The 888 "looks" like a nicer saw as it appears to have a chain brake while the 070 does not (which kind of surprises me).

    What are the thoughts on the 888 vs the 070 for a mill? Am I going to notice the cc difference for 200 bucks?

    070 is pretty heavy. about like carrying 2 880’s.
