How's everyone feeling about the miles they're getting out of 500i's if you've owned it for a few years now? Looking to get kitted out once again and purchase fresh saws, had the regular roster previously - 462 which copped the most use up and down trees, and 661 which mainly saw use on stumps/logging rounds/thick'uns and didn't bother with the 500i.

Was the hype/power to weight etc worth it? Or did they become problematic (as far as a saw can I guess?) with electronics or timing or whatnot, and not last.

Alternatively how're Husqi's going if you're that way inclined? 562/72/92s ? Few dealers around me and they seem to be cheaper than Stihl too now. My own, electric top handle and polesaw from them going mint after 3 years of use.
