thank you everybody for your kind words and and advice, here is my update.
friday pm, i left work and went straight to buy the 361 at my local "honest abe" stihl dealer...
it was gone, a day late and a dollar short, story of my life.
he said he would have a new 361 and 441 in a week... iwas going to wait, and then he pointed me to the other side of his shop and showed me the rack of dolmar saws...
long story short ihad to give my trusted ms270 in trade
but left with a brand new ps 7300...
used saturday and loved it( after filing the rakers to .032" )
if anyone has any feed back on this saw it would be apreciated.
thanx
