Definitely worth staying with Stihl if the price is anywhere near the other brands prices.
First impression of the Stihl 241c

I inquired about using .325 but my dealer said the 3/8lp would be just fine.

I did the same thing on my Dolmar 421. Gotta say, I'm liking the 3/8lp.
I'm pleased with it as well. But I've only got a 12" bar on it.

Mine is sitting on the bench where I left it. Going to be sitting there a long time unless I decide to sell it. Not a fan, it just isn't a saw I will use. Been using my 460 and getting tired of carrying it too. Today while slugging thru the bush I was thinking if I sold all my saws then I could afford a 460 built of carbon fibre. Anybody ever seen one?
i guess if the 460 is gettin heavy, you could get one of these.
you'll appreciate the weight 241 in a few years.
Leave the 3/8 lo profile Picco on it.
Are you using 63 PS chain Casey?

Casey, that one is still too heavy for me. How about Nuclear power then?
Steve, I could use something like that but not real handy for what I use the 460 for. Weight usually only bothers me when I'm cutting trees down. I used to just use the 460 to drop them and then switch to a 260 to limb them now I've been using the 460 for everything and it's getting heavy. What about steroids or maybe just Redbull? I tried Viagra and that got me wood but it made it difficult walking around the bush.

I think my next to build project will be something to cut the trees down from the drivers seat. I'm getting old and lazy.
PS3 performed pretty well in the LP chain shootout....
