Both have decent reviews around, so doesn't look like either one has a major defect in the design. In my area I've heard nothing bad about either brand, aside from the usual fan boy talk. If I were looking, I'd just pick up both of them and see if either feels better. I always preferred the double handlebar kind myself. The only chainsaw shop around was selling both kinds last time I was in there, but I haven't needed in there in years so I don't know if they still do.
I had a LOT of weed trimming to do, so I switched to a wheeled one. Looked at the cheap ones in stores and ended up getting a DR about 5 years ago when they still had the all aluminum frame. Priced higher of course, depending on what you have to do probably not worth it and not practical, overkill. But reliable, heavy enough replaceable bearing assembly in the front (haven't had to yet), simple design, and it cuts through just about anything without wrapping up or bogging down. After a few hours, the handheld kind always got heavy on me with the strap digging into my shoulder. This is easy to cut large areas in a fraction of the time a regular trimmer takes. I also got a "Beaver Blade" with it, has a regular replaceable chainsaw chain around a disk. I've spent many days cutting small to decent size cedars out of the pasture with it. It can cut to ground level, but of course it's easy to get it in the dirt and needs sharpened regularly. I'd have an atv shear for cedars but what I've seen and heard I haven't heard many good things about them. Basically what I'm saying, used it very hard and it holds up just fine, don't see getting a handheld one again.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
