    I would favor towards the 2149 , because of better Anti vibe , better air filtration and I think the whole lay out of the saw is simpler and easier to work on when needed. All that being said--- I own and use an MS260 and think it is a great saw , probably the best running saw I own. Brother has a 2152 (very similar to the 2149) and I really do like it better. Both great saws with good reputations---look at both then decide,if you can do it that way.

    Both good saws, but I'd rather have the 2149...

    Jonsered. I think you would be fine with either. But I also feel you would enjoy the Jonsered a lot more.

    Both are great saws. Handle each of them and see which feels the best to you.

    I really like the 260 alot. It's a good handling, lightweight saw. Either saw is good but IMO, the 260 is just the best all around 50cc saw.

    I own a few work saws.
