KenJax, there are ones on this site that view these as tools, quite a few that made their living with them and quite a few that it is a hobby. I think the ones that have been through a bunch of saws with a bunch of hours with them in their hands can appreciate that their is no magical saw. There can and will be a next one that "maybe" a great saw or just so so. My Master Minded 390 is really growing on me for a falling saw. So much so that it gets grabbed before the 372. But to be fair I am in 30" trees. My 359 was the last saw my Very good [best] friend and teacher ever used in the woods before he died. So that one means a lot to me. Gologit, make it to retirement buddie, but you know you never will be 100% retired! CJ
