The 350 hands down. The 455 is a MS290 type of saw, heavy and underpowered.)
But I would choose 15-16 inch and 0,325" for the 350. Will reduce weight and add hp to the cut.
Both statements are sure true!!!!

Most of the negativity comes from people who reside in countries where the saw isn't even sold.Used MS290 on ebay for 60 bucks less than a new 350 ??
Do a search on this forum and you will find the 290 to be the most hated saw on AS.
Let's see.... cheap plastic [email protected] 10.6 lbs.
American made saw (oh yeah..best selling saw in USA) solid built,proven @3.8hp 13lbs.
Kind of a "no-brainer" in my book.
Extra 1.4 lbs really isn't much for the satisfaction of having one of the best homeowner saws made.
And if that little extra weight bothers you so much,maybe you shouldn't be running a saw.
Sorry couldn't resist.....
Only by $49. Sure it's a pound heavier but it also has 1/4 HP more.
Pretty odd that the 210 is in your "mix" - way less power than the others, even the 340 beats that one with a sizable margin......
Lou,
Thanks for the clarification. This makes me feel like I did the right thing buying the new Husky. My wife always tells me to stop shopping once I buy something so I do not subject myself to buyer's remorse. I should listen to her.

I ordered it last night online so expect it early next week and will let you know about the cap. Why the curiosity? Are there different levels of quality on these saws?

There's more hatred here for the MS 290 than a made in Taiwan Homelite. My conclusion is some people like made in Taiwan Homelites.
