Stihl MS 241-CM; 42.6cc engine and 9.9lbs
Echo CS-361P 36.8cc engine and 8.3lbs
I am pretty convinced that the MS 241-CM is a great option for me but, I keep seeing these Echo CS-361P's which are lighter weight by a good margin and whole lot less expensive.
This saw will be a compliment to my MS 362-CM so, a minor loss in power and torque is not a huge concern as long as it will limb and cut reasonable sized firewood.
How do these two saws compare to each other? Who owns and uses an Echo CS-361P? Is it a good durable, reliable saw? Is the extra ~$200 for the Stihl money well spent, and if so why?
TIA,
Sid
