    Well, several months ago I said that when I could get this saw for < $950.00, I would pull the trigger. So, for $946.00, it is in the shed and, based on 7-8 cuts, it will be well worth it. The new Stihl has a 25?inch bar and cuts like a rabid beaver. Photo pending when I get home.

    True. But they really do run pretty darn well un-modified, too.

    Pictures tomorrow!! I got the saw Friday and left for the camp that afternoon. I know, it is totally inexcusable that I did not bring my new toy with me.
