Why do you hate the MS 280?

[16gauge]

Thank you all for the comments and insights. So...I am the proud owner of a "jury's still out" saw. Ok by me. At the discounted price it cost $36.00 more than the MS 290 sitting next to it. Was it a good buy? I know it is lighter and more comfortable to operate...and at age 55 that means more than some might think.

Thanks again...Phil

..... More, 290/310/390 are not sold here never by the official Sthils distributor!v.

No 290s or 310s here either, the 390 is sold as "Farm Boss".
