Here's a 335 and 200T in typical condition after a days work, the huskys front mounted filter picks up tons of debris for sure, but it's only a 5 second job to whip off the cover and blow the dust out with lung-power every tank or so. The 'air injection' is actually just the flywheel fins fanning air out that front slot in the cover, the air doesn't even blow into the air-box. . After 5 or so tanks I rinse the filter in gas for a good clean out. It's just not a big deal at all.
In the rain it's a different story though, on the huskys, the water gets dragged into the carb and she'll start running like a pig, gotta rinse the filter and carb every tank. That's where the 200's shine, they'll run all day in the rain no problems.
I way prefer the huskys because of their sweet nifty feel, the top handle is so much more comfortable than the 200T's, the 200's top handle feels cramped, your trigger fingers' knuckle hits a sharp edge on kickbacks and the rear mounted filter is a pita after using the sleeker husky.
For power, a simple ported exhaust outlet gets the husky 335 up to and past the 200T's impressive performance output, this husky is running a fixed jet carb, stomps thru fat branches absolutely effortlessly and weighs close to a pound lighter than the 200T. The husky motor is also incredibly tough and reliable. For me the 200T is just the huskys backup.
