Sure is, my 361 is disgusted from beeing compared to the 359/2159 - remember is has a bit more power than the US ones........:greenchainsaw:

I can feel it shaking from anger, even though it is a the cottage, an hour away - with the 339xp as the sole company.....

:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Btw, the standard 361 is cheaper than the 359 here......

I also compared the 361 and the 2159 and just couldn't justify the additional 150 bones for the 361.
I was cutting w/ a 361 demo and a 2159 demo so unsure of hourse on each. Oregon chain on the 2159, and Stihl chain on the 361. I was unable to notice much difference except price tag.
Been afraid to post this due to the raves the 361 gets...Thank you woodfarmer for providing me the courage!!

Would it be fair to say that you think it is overpriced and over-hyped about? :D

ST,its run-in, it just wasn't as good as i expected it to be. is that birch your cutting? i was cutting hard maple and beech

That is Witchy, and a very hard and old (way past 100 years) birch, that was semi-seasoned into the bargain, and no core-rot.
It was about 24x28" at the stump, which is very unusual here. Felled it with the 372xp, with 20" bar - its first wictim.
