As the Echo PB-8010T and the Stihl BR 600 do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.
These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their powerful engines and massive fuel tanks.
Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds.

The Echo PB-8010T, providing a CFM of 1071, outmatches the 677 CFM of the Stihl BR 600. Your leaf blowing experience will therefore be outstandingly improved with the Echo PB-8010T, as it should be able to move considerably more leaves per minute.
The Stihl BR 600's MPH of 238 beats the 211 MPH of the Echo PB-8010T. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

The heavier Echo PB-8010T, standing at 24.5 lbs, dwarfs the 21.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 600, and may be more physically demanding to operate.
The Echo PB-8010T's noise rating of 79.3 dB exceeds the 75 dB of the Stihl BR 600. Therefore, the Stihl BR 600 will be easier on your (and your neighbor's) ears.

The Echo PB-8010T's 83.8 fl.oz. fuel tank outmatches the Stihl BR 600's 47.3 fl.oz. You may fill it up with way more fuel and presumably run it longer, if both engines had the same fuel consumption.
When compared, the Stihl BR 600's engine displacement at 64.8cc is lesser than the 79.9cc of the Echo PB-8010T. Therefore, the second may consume more fuel per stroke and is in turn be more powerful.
Each of these blowers requires a fuel/oil mix to operate, as the Echo PB-8010T features a 2-cycle engine, and the Stihl BR 600 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
