Stihl MS-880 vs Husqvarna 3120 XP

This is something I have been thinking on for a long time.

Stihl closed the production (2010) of the famous 090-AV with its 136 ccm and 12 HP.
We had to try out Stihl MS-880. That a down fall.
In 2010 the MS-880 had some changes on carburetor, cylinder and muffler. This was done to make it "greener".

I checked out Husqvarna 3120 XP. The Norwegian importer told me that its possible to purchase the "African muffler". It will increase the engine power.

I need to get your opinion and your experience if you know these models
Do you know any other brand that can be competitive?
