I have been using a Stihl 180C with a 16 inch bar for my "in the tree" trimming, as well as an equal size bar pole pruner for quick up to 16 foot trimming from the ground. Stihls have a higher rpm for better short bar use, in my opinion.
For my big work I use a Husqvarna 365 with a 24 inch bar, as "Huskys" have a lower, more torque rpm.
Both have been outstanding in use and longevity, as both saws are near 15 years old running on ethanol free gas, as I found the ethanol does not like to blend with some lubrication oils added to the fuel.
