Fire/Rescue saw

[StoneyMeadowMaple]

I am looking for a new saw for our Fire Department. Stihl offers a 462C-M direct from Stihl for about 1800. Husqvarna doesn’t offer one straight up, but through third party an “upgraded” 572xp is available with what appears to be similar options to the Stihl. I would personally prefer the Husky, but not for another 12-1400, and I know Stihl makes a very good saw, also being able to buy directly from a local dealer is appealing.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these units?
