50cc saw's are all so close like splitting hairs. I have never tried any of the super 50cc saw's like the 5100 or 2153/Ne 346, But I have used the 026/260 2152. The Stihl is a tad lighter the Jred is smoother better anti vibe. I don't think one will out last the other. As to 3/8ths I tried my 15'' bar from my 2159 on the 2152 and was impressed but the saw has a muffler mod only a extra 3/8 ths hole I have to do some more playing around to see if it is really faster or it is in my mind. I did find I can power out the saw a bit using the 3/8 chain. Both using a 7 pin rim if I don't put pressure on the saw the 3/8 seems to cut faster. But then it's just a fire wood saw and here I am splitting hairs!
