562xp Mk2 or MS400c?

For me the biggest difference would come down to dealer support, I like the Stihl dealer, but he’s 45 minutes away, the Husqvarna is 10. I personally love the 562xp, the difference between the 2 seems so negligible it almost seems like the best deer rifle caliber argument, they all have merits.
Personally, IMO, go with the best/closest dealer.

With these two particular saws you really can't go wrong with either. I would still favor the 400c and I have owned both(albeit Mk1 version), but ai wouldn't sweat it if I only had a Husky dealer near by.

Last saw I bought from a local dealer was a 371XP, in 1998. Last 3 new saws I purchased came from the classified ads on here or OPE. Can't say I've ever really needed dealer support for much of anything.
