Whicc saw is the better saw? Arn't they basicly the sme saw?

No they are completely different animals. If you sift around you'll see some threads discussing the topic.

Borderline to not even be comparable - the weight and power difference is quite large, even though the cc is about the same......

I don't think I ever have used the word prehistoric about the 260......:msp_lol:

Also, I don't think I ever called it a bad saw, or junk.

Now troll....u know I was talking bout that outdated husky you rave about. U know, the one that need's crutches, or a peg leg to keep itself from falling over.

From what I keep hearing, they are no longer the King of mini-saw land....

my vote goes to the 261. The 260 is a great saw but the design is getting dated.

Love the 260/026 I've got 4 of them but the 261 rocks!
