My wife bought me a Stihl MS192T arborist saw for Christmas this year. 
It has the handle on top for one handed work.. I had the dealer put a 16 
inch bar on it and it is great...  I bought an echo a few years back 
brand new and it ran for about 2 months then you have to have the choke 
out to run...

The new stihl manual said to change the fuel pickup element yearly 
because of bad gas.  It also said to use only 89 octane or better.  I 
use only the 91 octane in all my small engines now...  My echo saw may 
have a bad gas intake line...
