If/when I buy a new one, I’m planning on getting the Stihl, despite the price. But I’m an infrequent user (even though I have 3 chainsaws), so I either use a dremel or a regular round chainsaw file with a cheapy guide (or no guide), and the results are ok. Like grepper said, don’t saw any dirt, or you’ll be a frequent saw sharpener. IMO, if you know how to sharpen a knife, then a chainsaw is pretty darn easy.
