Not trying to be a wiseguy at all, but I'm really not surprised by that outcome. Think of it like this, most of us LOVE a classic muscle car, take my personal favorite, the Chevelle SS454 for example. I love everything about that car, the looks, the classic rat rumble with very respectable horsepower out of the box. Now take and compare it stock for stock with a brand new Camaro SS. With about 250hp more in a lighter and better handling machine the Camaro will generally stomp the old Chevelle in almost any type of challenge. So all that said, newer tech generally outperforms older tech in comparable equipment. Kind of the same thing here. Now compare a Stihl model more the equal of the 372 in terms of time it was developed and size and things will be very close across the board. I'm guessing the 441 would be the more comparable model??
I'm sure that once this new Husky 57x comes out, we will be saying the same things only the old 372 will be on the losing end.
