Yeah, I like the ARS VS series . They come in three sizes, so even those with small hands can get the 7" model and get much better leverage than can be had from an over sized pruner.
The blade is made of much harder steel than Felcos so need less frequent sharpening and I prefer how they feel in my hand. I used to get aches in my wrist when I used Felcos but I can prune all day long for six work months in a row and have no issue with the ARS.
The drawback is the ARS can easily accidentally open when in ones pocket which can be dangerous. Good to use a sheath with.
The Seymour may be a sentimental fave, but I don’t recommend a blade and anvil for cutting living wood- the anvil tends to crush wood- that’s why pros use a bypass.
A blade and anvil loppers can work great for clearing brush, though.
