Standard AS Response to the above question:
The Stihl MS200T is the best top-handle climbing saw. period. And I happen to agree.
Although the 2 hunge (as OD calls it...) will run you about 6 Benjamins, you get what you pay for. I have run alot of echos, and I think they suck compared to the 200. As for the solo, I have not run it.
All in all, there are alot of climbing saws available to the consumer aside from the MS200T, but you will be hard-pressed to find one that will compete with the 200, regardless of price. Most all AS members will agree with this statement.
Of course, yet can buy what you want, but if I were you, I would either gat the 192, which runs about half the price of the 200, if your only climbing part-time, or save up the cash and just get the 200. You will not regret the 200.
