Just asked for my money back and thanked them for the opportunity to try a new saw.

You are a better guy than I am. LOL Did you at least tell them to get rid of the primer bulb?

Lol!
In all my years around treework, all the big cuts I've seen made/made myself, nobody ever started by pushing on some gay little primer bulb to start the saw! Not once.
What are these people thinking.. seems like some Genius just gets all hell bent on destroying a good thing (for some unknown reason) and then there's no turning back! Pisses me off.. fools gotta destroy everything!

Is it possible you get your money back? I mean how is that going to happen? Who is going to give you your money back?

Its just a little primer bulb, you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Most prototype/demo saws do not have an ordinary s/n laser etched. The newer saws are not stamped they are laser etched. Even if ground off,under the right light, are still visable. This practice was started w/firearms,and now most everything is that way.

what did stihl offer you for your honesty? I would think they would be pretty generous.
Just keep thinking like that, see where that gets ya. Next thing you'll wind up with rainbow stickers on your trucks.

Nothing wrong with primers on small saws!
I'm just trying to figure out why in God's name you would ever need one, but okay..

They are nice when the saw has been sitting for a while - but I agree they are not really needed.

I think its just something else that will go bad eventually and more clutter.

What Stihl is going to give you??
I would like to know what Stihl is going to give you for helping return a stolen saw.
If it's stolen, I wonder where the people that you got it got it?
Was it sold to you as a new saw?

I like the looks of the MS 201 too!
.

The MS201T was unveiled last week to the UK at an Arb show. Personally I haven't been anywhere near one. It looks like Stihl did away with the manual fuel purge pump or it is an option, when compared to the prototype. I don't know if those style flippy caps are going on all other saws, to assist those who can't operate them properly...

The trigger still looks too close in like on the 200T which rubs on the front side of your trigger finger and turns the skin thick and raspy if you're clocking hours up. You gotta chizel the thick skin off your trigger finger with a razor blade if you don't want a bloody great lump there all the time.
You don't get that with an XPT husqvarnas comfortable handle and trigger setup. The 201 still retains the horribly designed uncomfortable Stihl setup which dates back to the 50's. There's a token attempt at smooth edges on the casings but all in all there's nothing to get excited about from what I'm seeing in the rotatable pic though
Also the 200T raps your knuckle hard on a sharp plastic edge if you get a bit of a kickback. It fekkin hurts, I'm thinking it's a deliberate design to teach newbies a lesson on staying alert, but end of the day it's still just too cramped around the trigger, but going by eye, that 201 may have a bit more room there. Maybe. You'd have to hold it to find out.
The "15% better" nonsense about their new bumpy chizel LP chain will be a crock of bollocks, a well sharpened non-bumper semi-chizel would spank it. Guarantee it.
And the weedy 192T spring on the front handle of the 201 looks spindly and flexy and sh1tty, but having used 192T's, that skinny spring actually seemed pretty robust but the 192T is a featherweight saw. You can't say that for the 201 which is even heavier than the overweight 200T. Increasing the weight of a TH saw is a big NO NO, it's the worst possible thing Stihl could have done
