The best thing about the 500i is the purge/primer bulb lol.Also mentioned at my original post that Stihl might think of Ms500i teething problems which I personally believe they would not exist or gonna solve quickly since they test injections at their tools for years.
I think if you want Stihl to fail you will have to wait
Be sure I've not said I want anyone to fail, success of any brand brings competition which is what makes things better for us. I'd not be ashamed to run a 462 as a lightweight 70cc saw even though I prefer all orange saws, whatever the best tool is(theirs way more than weight and speed to that) to get the job done is what I want.
Also Stihl has failed before just as all have, couple examples is the first gen 362 and the 201.
From what I can see the 462 looks like a beast, can't wait to get one in my hands.
The 572 is super smooth and has a lot of grunt, but felt heavy until you started swinging it around a bit, very well balanced and handling is great.
I'm not knocking either just yet.
