Husqvarna vs Stihl after 3 years of daily climbing in Portland

I ran a Husqvarna 550XP for about 2 years on removal jobs around Portland. Then I borrowed a Stihl MS 261 for a week and honestly it just felt smoother in the cut. The antivibe on the Stihl is way better for my wrists after a full day. But the Husky starts easier when it's cold out. I'm thinking about switching over, has anyone else made that swap and regretted it?

Respectfully disagree @tylerw92, cold starts matter way more in Portland's drizzle than smoother cuts do.

Used to be all Husky but swapped after trying the 261. No regrets so far.
