I don't plan to ever own another Poulan or any other junk saw again. My Stihls and Echo run right and start every time. Its worth every penny they cost to have reliable equipment.
Get the Stihl. That is what we run on our logging jobs although not much saw work anymore. I have a 311 which is the smallest professional saw with 20" bar. Cuts anything I need. Whatever you decide on, make sure to run good fuel. I never run anything but ethanol free.
