Probably no help whatsoever, but I just picked up a Stihl 025 recently for a good price, it needed a new bar and chain, so I put an 18" forester bar and chain on it and it is a hungry saw. I like it a lot. The only thing I have to compare it to is a Poulan 3416, which has been nothing but a pain on anything other than limbs.
As soon as I put the bar on it I went and dropped a 20" or so wide dead ash tree in my front yard with no trouble at all.
