Yes AVB, that is pretty much what Briggs are doing to Victa here, but I guess brand loyalty there days is not so important. The genuine Stihl stuff still has the reputation as being the benchmark saws are judged by. Same with the commercial Honda mowers not the domestic type people get caught with. If you want to buy quality, you have to pay for it and manufactures want to chase the volume market and use their brand name on the cheaper end products. Does it hurt their brand name, I'm not sure
