Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
For long days cutting, you also want to consider the balance of the saw, and the vibration your hands will take.

We have a Stihl that's 8 years old and still runs well, but won't ever be used for all-day cutting, because the vibration makes the users fingers go numb for a few days. Partner has great balance and better vibe control. Stihl can get you into tighter spaces (vertical cuts next to vertical structures). Never tried a Husqi. It was likely here that you heard about the saws with the different colored plastic - Speedi-Cut, Quik-Cut, Wacker and a few others are identical saws, with different colored plastic, and different stickers.
