I heard that many guys are going to the 390xp, bit more power then the 385xp, sort of a "souped up" 385xp...heavier clutch etc...

No worries here, but you've somewhat stirred up a hornets nest. None of my biz though. Just kinda letting you know thats all.

Yeah, I got a deal that I could not pass up. If I like it (modded of course) I may try a couple other models, being the 375xp (jking) no, the 372 and 390.

haha, well, they are all fun saws, main difference being personal preference...no real night in day differences in them in the same classes in my opinion....

why bother with the 575 POS?
when you can still get the 372? this is a no brainer.i'd look around to see if any of your stihl dealers have the ms440.i'd much rather have that or the ms 460 than the 441.

Did you post that when you were asleep - and they even weight the same, contrary to what the specs say- the 441 actually is heavier than than advertised, and the 575 lighter than advertised.....I don't want either, but that is another story.......

That's funny because I've used all 4 saws in question and the decision for me was easy. The 460 was the only other saw I considered, but it isn't worth the additional ~$50 for me.
I just don't get the 372. I've used a couple of them and don't get me wrong they are nice. They run just like a 361 to me, but with more power. Peaky powerband and an annoyingly high pitched scream.
Funny thing is that if the 441 was a Husky you guys would all love it. It does everything the 372 does, but better.

LOLOL, I bet yours hasn't run in over a year either,LOLOL
True I could get a simple fix but why, I'm having too much fun with that saw. Right out the dayumm box pouring oil, what more could a Stihl man want,hehe
BTW that 441 has never leaked a drop and even when its spanking that 372 in the cut it doesn't need extra oil,LOL
( I like my 372 just the same, wink)

Did you follow up and read the explanation for my post? Or just read and quote?
I was looking at the 357 and comparing.

I don't think it has the top-end powerband that the 372xp has, but admittedly I have never used a 441 - and don't want to either, because of the weight and bulk...
The 441 is much cheaper than the 372xp here, but I never hesitated, a year+ ago......:greenchainsaw:

Well Troll I gotta tell ya. Me and ole Hoss sawed up a tractor trailer load of logs a few months ago. I let him run the 372 and 441. He couldn't feel the differance in the few ounces between those two saws, neither can I. I can tell you the 372 was out of gas long before the 441 was, meaning theres no way the 372 can outcut the 441 in production, it spends too much on the ground getting refilled while that 441 is still cutting. Performace wise they cut so close its not worth talking about. Ole Hoss is now a proud new 441 owner, he,like me,didn't find the 372 to be what all its cracked up to be. Even so I will tell ya this though, I likem both ole feller,
