I just took a look at the Stihl website and saw this image of the ms200 which looks quite a bit different than those I've seen other carvers using. In fact, it looks like my ms192.

Performance wise, is this streamlined version the same old ms200?

I want one ..... waaaaaaa !!

It looks just like both of mine. They're definitely a winner. Jack

Are you sure, Jack? This sure looks like a lower profile body to me. Maybe I'll just have to buy one and come by your place to do a little comparison Carve up some of your 8" diameter old growth cedar you were offering to me. LOL

Really Butch ... put a carving bar on that ... 14 or 12 inch ... and you will LOVE it !! I want one sooooooo bad ... shit hapens !! LOL

Local dealer didn't have the 200 in stock so I'll have to wait a few days but I am now the proud owner of one MS200

You're gonna love it!

I bought one a month ago. Good running saw but will ware ya out just keeping fuel in it. Has the smallest tank I have ever see. You'd thing for 600 bucks plus they could have put a bigger tank on it. I cant even work up a sweat using it.lol

After some research, I decided to outfit my new 200 with a 14" quarter tip and low-pro chain. That chain is pretty agressive and the quarter tip appears to stay cooler than dime tips have for me. I'm quite happy with the results. The first thing I carved is this "squirrel hunter".
