Would a Husqvarna 51 be the equivalent of a Stihl 026?

I've seen these pop up used once in a while and like the format of my Stihl 026.

Would the 51 be a good competitor to the 026?

I'd rather the 026 given the choice. Handles better, and has more power, I think it's a better built saw, possibly a tad lighter as well. I wouldn't pass up on a husqy 51 if it was really cheap, but I wouldn't pay more for it then an 026.
