I remember a few years ago people complaining about the cost, and I posted (on at least two different occasions) that the 200T would be a bargain at $1000. That's why I bought four of them last year when the 201 came out. Of the four, I have one on the truck (with two older ones as well) and three still in boxes.
The new one on the truck is giving me some carb grief, once in a while it goes real lean at an idle and the chain won't stop spinning. I've taken the carb apart twice and cleared it up, but the issue keeps returning. Scary since I've lost some strength in my wrists and I have to be extra attentive about keeping the chain away from my body parts.
