Stihl or Husqvarna: which brand makes the better gas chainsaw?

Across the reviewers we read, both brands are considered top-tier and the choice usually comes down to local dealer support, parts availability, and ergonomic preference. Specialist-community discussion on r/Chainsaw repeatedly notes that Husqvarna saws tend to rev faster while Stihl saws often feel more torquey at the bar, but at equivalent displacement the two brands trade blows rather than one clearly winning.
