As stated, you will likely not have a problem with ether saw. I really like my 372, here are some thing in Husky’s favor.
Husky’s Dealers are more likely to deal on price.
Hysky’s warrantee is 2 years Sthil is 90 days
I really like the side tensioner and anti-vibe mounting on my 372.
The sthil guys can post what they like about the 044.
When I was looking, the way I got the local dealer to come down on price was by splitting the difference between what he wanted and what I could get it for on the internet. Although, I didn’t end up buying new, I bought used from a local logger, most of them buy new every year. So even though I bought it used from someone what used it a lot. It still run, and starts great and I haven’t had to do any major repairs. That tells me it’s built to last.
