Common specs comparison

As the Echo PB-580T and the Stihl BR 700 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 Stihl BR 700, providing a CFM of 912, outmatches the 510 CFM of the Echo PB-580T. Your leaf blowing experience will therefore be outstandingly improved with the Stihl BR 700, as it should be able to move considerably more leaves per minute.
The Echo PB-580T with an MPH of 215 slightly exceeds the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700. Thus, in comparison, the former expels air at a slightly higher speed, and should do a better job at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet leaves and debris (acorns, etc.).

The weight of the Stihl BR 700, which is 23.4 lbs, slightly exceeds the 22.6 lbs of the Echo PB-580T, and will therefore require you to carry around slightly more weight.
The Stihl BR 700's noise rating of 75 dB exceeds the 70 dB of the Echo PB-580T. Therefore, the Echo PB-580T will be easier on your (and your neighbor's) ears.

The Echo PB-580T's 62 fl.oz. fuel tank outmatches the Stihl BR 700'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 Echo PB-580T's engine displacement at 58.2cc is lesser than the 64.8cc of the Stihl BR 700. 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-580T features a 2-cycle engine, and the Stihl BR 700 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
