So I've been thinking that the head powering my MK III was a 281xp, and was completely satisfied with the production I was capable of with an 80+cc saw. Then I came under the impression that it might actually be a 272xp. So, then I was thinking, 'man I wonder what milling with a bigger saw would be like!?'
I just ran the numbers on the cylinder of my saw and it's a 268xp!. Good grief! I immediately told my wife I was going to need to buy a new saw with the tax return because I 'can't mill with a 268' (I of course still have a real 272xp as well--not a fake one like this 268). Referencing the pile of wood out the kitchen window she tapped me in the forehead twice and said, 'it's all in your head.' I laughed. I can move up in power just by switching to what I thought was my smaller saw.

For your amusement, here are a couple pictures of 4-5 mornings worth of milling with a 68cc saw:
