I've really enjoyed this site and the helpful yet hilarious battles among different saws. Based on what I've learned, I was set on purchasing a 261, but then I ended up with a coupon to Home Depot while would allow me to get a EA6100PRGG at pretty much the same price. I know there are a lot of ways to look at these two saws. I will be using mine to cut many cords of firewood per year for a place that gets quite cold in the winter. I am sure I could do it with something less, but I am stuck on reliability, which is why I was looking at the "pro grade" 261 , which I would pick up at a local saw shop. The EA6100PRGG seems like more saw for the money, and I've heard a lot of good things about the Dolmar brand. I just don't have a good sense of the reliability. Also, I know it is a few pounds heavier, but I am willing to make that sacrifice. Thoughts and humor are welcomed.
