You seem set on buying a husky but I bought an Echo HC341ES, 973mm cutter, single bladed and weighs 6kg. It gives a nice cut and comes into it's own when cutting the top of a hedge as it gives a long reach.
I think I'm going to try Echo when I need new hedge cutters. It seems many rate then as the best quality cut. It will come down to finding a good dealer local though.
I am 100% Echo all the way , firstly they stay nice sharp for long time , and light to use which is important when using them for long periods of time , one pump grease in the gearbox every time i use my and oil on the blades, happy days , I will never go back to Stihl hedge cutters, if gave me one . i would sell it on ebay
I've also checked on the Echo website and the vibration levels are aprox 2x the Stihl and Husqvarna equivalents....
Have you tried the latest twist lock caps with the little black lines? They're an enormous improvement over the older design, they also have an all black cap that screws on and off (it's on one of my kombi engines and my blower don't know if they're a standard cap yet or what) which are even better.

I think if you do like for like comparisons on machines the figures are a lot closer.
If memory serves me right Echo were slightly higher but still allowed a full days use, staying within the vibe limits, as you would expect from pro machines.
