Well cosmetically it is a bit more rounded the the boxy 200, that spring getting effed up was not due to gettin the saw stuck....but a matter of bearing down on it as one would do with the 200, then bam....bent spring or mount site gets cracked!!
The only bad thing about the 200 or 020`s was the on & off switch.....tight crotches would choke it off, now as for performance.....you better run the 201 yerself instead of someone else??? it has what seems to be a shorter power band & thats great for average cutting.......but big meat bogs that saw like a poulan wildthing!!!
Now compare the millage of the plastic casings......the 200 is much more thicker, the 201 is the same as the 192........an over priced cheaply made saw......bottom line!! all the improvements you think are good are also the achilles heal of the saw & the problem with the gas vent & carb are from end users not performing maintenance.
Look at the pull cord rewind in that 201.........junk, notice anything about that wire routing to the electronic ignition???? Look, Like I said the motor is good!!!!!! its just the rest of the saw that will fall apart & its awfully funny of those 5 saws in the shop..........all of em were to replace the 200 & a must have by because there stihls & its a new product...............
well those 4 fellas are running 200T`s right now cause the 201 couldnt handle the same abuse/conditions!!! I say wait a couple months & then check your saw shop...........201`s will be the floor mat you walk in on!!!
