At AGRITECHNICA (The world's leading trade fair for agricultural machinery) we were told , that STIHL will release the MS 400 with heated handles in the nearby future.
By using a sufficently designed manifold (more strato air, less crankcase air) and by decreasing the rev treshold of the strato valve, they can use this engine also for concrete cutters.

The thicker gasket reduces the compression and hence the probability of misfiring is lower.
That is...
if STIHL offers the MS 651 in your country...
