Bristoe, if you go Stihl, the Pro saws have a better carb, electronics,air filters, an extra ring on the piston and a compression release. The 260 is what I have, it is now a MS261. With 3/8ths full chisel chain it will out cut the 361 with safety chain. it will take up to a 20 inch bar and be significantly lighter to use than the 360 or bigger saws.
