I am needing a saw in the small pro category. Is the ms 362 worth the money? is it as good as a 361 or better?

Chris, what's up?!
I think I would lean toward a 361, but seeing as how I haven't run either one....
not much just enjoying my 1 day off. I want a 361 but nobody has them. SO we will see what happens. If anybody has one they want to sell...
The 361 has been discontinued for almost 2 years now, I do know a dealer that has a few leftover. But you need to know the secret handshake, and that information doesn't come cheap.
I prefer the lightest power to weight ratio saws I can get my hands on because of twenty years with Lymes Disease.
The MS361 is better then the MS362 in the P2W ratio. A littlle heavier adds up at the end of the day and can spell the difference between back pain or not.
When I first started out as an Arborist I was able to take a STIHL 066 with 28" Bar up in the tree to chunk. Today I can only handle a MS440 at most but really use a MS361 with a 25" Bar when needed.
I can really notice a difference between a 361 and 362 weight wise. The 362 actually feels like my 440.
STIHL should make the MS362 70cc, the MS441 80cc and the MS261 57cc. If they did that there would be no competition. My SOLO 681 blows away my STIHLs lb for lb.
