I am currently looking to buy a new saw. I have the option to buy a modified 660 (dual port muffler, limiters removed, ported and polished head, new piston and cylinder, etc...) for 3 hundred less than a brand new 661 R. The shop that modded the 660 will give me a year warranty just like on a new one.
Would I be better off buying the modified saw or buying the new one? I've read reviews and reports that state a modded 660 will barely beat a stock 661?
I'm just looking for opinions. The saw will probably be used once or twice a month with a 36" bar since my other saws are well suited to what I cut most of the time.
