Hi all, been here for a while but first post. If all goes well I just got dibs on a 1311 in the secondary market, it's taken a while! I have an 1111 and 411 currently and think they pair up like champs- I love the 411 handle!

My question is now that the "shiny oooo purty!" has worn off how people feel about the 1311 vs 1111? The undergrowth is very thick in the woods around here but the available wood is also generally pretty tough.. dried elm is a world class PITA sometimes. The 1111 destroys hardwoods but it seems like the 1311 might do just as well at that and do better in the brush clearing department with the lighter weight and longer reach.
