Wow, almost a pound less than the 572 and 6.8 Hp, I think Husky may be in trouble if Stihl gets this to market soon. Will also reduce 661 sales.

So, a 70+ cc saw and an 80 cc saw, NICE ... and makes sense!

So, it seems that the 462 will have a 362 style filter, which will require tools to remove, but will stay clean longer.

The MS 500 seems to have the 440/460/461 style HD-2 Filter with easy screw off stuff, and I like the separate wing nut instead of the filter cover holding the filter. Seen too many complaints of fines getting into 661s.

I personally prefer the quick to remove, easy to clean filter set up.

I hope both these saws hit the US market soon, I think they will both be big hits.

Would like to know the bar length rating for the MS 500.

The thing that I don't get is that according to the pictures and as far as I can see, lots of the new stihl saws has a prefiltration (ex. MS661 MS500I). What do you think?

If these new models come out satisfactorily and run as well as they should there will be a lot of very nice saws coming up for sale in order to buy the new ones I would imagine.

I'm not sure if the word "exotic" applies to chainsaws but if it does we may have a winner with the 500i.

Mtronics, we are coming closer to calling it 'old tech'. I wonder what the guys who fear 'computer saws' think of the 500i. Companies like echo & makita are getting left further and further behind.
