Is Husky's Air injection still better than Stihl's?

I don't want to rustle any jimmies with these videos, but here it clearly shows Husky saws with much cleaner air filters after the tests are completed. Are the new Stihl saws still bad at removing particulates before it reaches the filter?

the husqvarna "air injection" system consist in the centrifugal depuration of air.
this system of depuration I think it was studied by husqvarna for the first time.
at this moment many chainsaws Stihl they have a system of depuration air, similar of husqvarna "air injection".

I am not impressed with the 562/2260 filtration at all...
Eeyup, i agree. When i was felling back in 2012 with a 562, it was more like the stihls, but worse. I had the felt filter and it sucked dirt in from the filter base. Then i greased it, but that only lasts for 6.3333333321937 hours so couldn't even make it a day without pullen the filter. When i retired the saw in 2013 in had lots of wear on intake side of piston

That being said, that 562 impressed me and others, felling and buck'n timber with a 28 inch bar buried most the time. Yes the filter system needs to be improved before i get another 562, and also get rid of that stupid purge bulb!

It is funny to me that some Saws with the pre air separation are less effective then some without. And then some that are just amazing.

lots of rotten Huskies, 545/550 filtration sucks also.
Btw, I think Husky upgraded their filterholder & filter nowadays on 562.

On some of the classic ones like 242 and 254 I like to place a thin oring between the airfilter & holder, seen to much leak there.
