Get a 7910 you’ll forget the 462/460/372/440/576/385/441/572 ever existed. I know it’s a bold statement. Lol
The weight difference is nothing to me great pics thereI grab my big clutch cover friday
Here are some comparsion pics, the dirty one is the small standard cover.
The big cover is only 40gramm heavier, sry i only weigh them with the big spike.

All the best options for brands of saws are definitely in the US ,it’s nice to be spoilt for choice .Thats one of the reasons I buy saws from the US choice and price.You from Australia? That limits your options for sure.
Iam definitely keen on the large clutch coverI would go with the big cover and smaller dogs. I am not a fan of big dogs.
Larger clutch cover is great for me as I do s bit of noodlingWow. That big cover looks like it's about 1/3rd larger than the regular cover. Should clear chips much better.
Cool...I wish stihl made those dawgs again..perfect size for my use.
Working on some ideas...With guys like @Adirondackstihl and @Red97 on this site it shouldn’t be too hard to get reproduction s or improved versions made.

Need to figure out what the factory spikes are made from. Some of them are pretty stout.
