Stihl or Echo!?!?!

I used to own a mowing/landscaping business and I have used both. Stihl had more power, used more fuel and were slightly harder to start. Echo had less power, used less fuel and started on the first pull.
Both are great and I'd buy either one of them. They'll both need to be serviced at some point and/or you'll need to buy parts so I'd buy the one with the closest dealer/service center.

my 4cycle cub cadet, is great, but my ritual without fail, is never, ever, i mean never but etinol gas caca, in them, in run non-Etinol, in all my gas motors, knock on wood, but that weed eater will sit all winter, i can pull it out press the prim button a couple of ties, and fires right up....not sure if the brand matters
just my 2 cents

Stihl FS 91, has worked great for me for about 4 years, 0 issues starting and 0 maintenance done to it, I assume thats a bit of an anamoly, but I have the rebuild kit on standby.
I have a stihl chainsaw too, about 6 years, had minor issues till I started running the stihl pre-mix, that stuff is pretty expensive but worth it.
My dad has an echo weedeater, hasnt had many issues with it.
I think both (echo or stihl) are good, but theyre best when you use the pre-mix 2 cycle fuel with stabilizers as opposed to mixing your own.
