Stihl and Husky make 3-4 different grades of saws--homeowner, landowner, in the case of Husky a semi-pro saw, and pro saws. Stay away from the homeowner saws. Most folks don't know this--including some of retailer sales folks. They'll tell you it's "professional saw" when it ain't.
The higher the grade of saw, the lighter, more powerful, more reliable, more expensive it is. 50cc to 60cc landowner saw from either brand is my recommendation. 16-20' bar. Find a local dealer that'll take care of you and stay away from the big box stores.
Go to Stihl and Husky's websites and peruse them. Like Leupold, both companies put a "floor price" on their dealers, so the the price is identical wherever you go. You might catch a sale somewhere. Otherwise dealers can entice you by throwing in extra goodies, 2-cycle oil, carrying case, etc.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.
