$1400?!?!? Where do you get that price at? I can buy 395's all day long under $1100. That 562 is around $700 range.

Holy ####. That would make crossing the border and paying customs well worth it.

I paid $810 for my 562xp in Fairbanks, Alaska August 2012. I would never spend that much, but about 1/2 was paid for as a birthday gift from my in-laws! I shopped and shopped. I felt the Husky's were more ergonomic for me, and this 562 though on the large side for continual use in a day however it is quite nimble and light not to mention powerful. When I'm out of shape it gets to be too much but when I'm in the middle of cutting season and my strength returns it's very productive! It's done my firewood flawlessly from 75F down to -45F!

Saw update. I replaced the Stihl 210 with a Dolmar 421a few weeks ago. Great little companion for the 6421. No more Stihl, no more flippy caps. Life is good. 421 has 1hp more, just what the doctor ordered, great little limbing saw. I've actually been using it in bigger wood than I had planned due to the light weight and its abilities. If anyone has been considering a 421, you won't be disappointed.

I'm pretty high on my Stihl 441 with 20" bar but my biggest recommendation is to keep 'em sharp!  That is the key to enjoyable and efficient cutting above all else!

Have two Sachs Dolmar, a 112 and a 120SI. 20 inch bars on both.

Have three Stihls, a 023, a 362 and a 460. 16", 25" and 28" bar. When the 25" bar wears out on the 362 I plan on replacing it with a 20".

Went with the Stihl's as the only place that still services Sachs in our area is slower than molasses. I can fix em myself but usually have bigger fish to fry.

I liked the flippy caps at first, but after a few fill ups unless you blow em off first you tend to get more crud in your tanks. I'm going to start carrying a can of ether or something to spray around the caps before taking them off if a air hose isn't handy.

I have a whisk broom to clean around the caps.  Works great!

I keep a 1-inch or so paint brush in my box to dust off around the caps before refills.  Alos takes the big chunks of dust off the air cleaner in a pinch too.  A friend of mine that worked in a repair shop said the most common thing he fixed was either fuel or oil inlet filters from too much crud in the tanks.
