[KenJax Tree]

It depends on what size saw you want, both lf your saws are great saws especially the 361.....my 361 is the only Stihl i kept.

Simply put...YES

 

[demc570]

well i had my eye on 261 cm,close to weight and power and in middle of power of my other 2 saws,and weight be close also......and price,cant really spend over price 261cm so 362cm and up are ruled out....and not really wanting the new 240cm.40 cc saw......if i did that i buy the echo355t which i always liked, and ran one once. its for firewood,i like to have three good saws,to take to cut all day when i go....

I have a 355T i was thinking about selling and getting a Dolmar 421

M-tronic is IMHO the best advancement stihl has made in improving the gas chainsaw. It almost gets rid of 'operator error' and can tune/detect air leaks so so much better than us mortals. I think your concern is focussing on the very very small minority rather than looking at the majority. Soon MT/AT will just be accepted as the 'norm' and will be expected by any new saw buyer. I think it is one of the most solid technologies on the saw full stop. Something I have noticed generally about AT/MT users is that vast majority would not want to go back to a manually adjusted carb and have never had such a smooth running saw. IMBRACE CHANGE! its good for you!

 

[CR888]

Although I must say l think Stihl has the best system. There both clever but I think the germans have done it again. lol

My 261 cm is great in every way. No problems with the M-tronic system. The air filtration system is absolutely outstanding. Really great little saw.

Have'nt ran M-Tronic but, sure did love the autotune saw I had. I would say get the M-Tronic saw.

I have a 441c with 0 problems. As smooth as glass and a real screamer

Ive got a Dolmar 421 in my near future I hope as well !!

I sure would like if they added a "check engine light" to these fancy auto tuning contraptions. Just a little something to let the operator know that the carb is operating outside it's expected value.

I'm sold on the M-Tronic equipment.

At first, I was suspicious. But you all know me by know. I always keep an open mind.

Go mtronic

If you already have a good 50 and 60cc saw I'd look into stepping up into the bigger 70cc saws. I bet if you bought one of the new 441's you'd probably leave the others in the truck most of the time.
Don't get me wrong, I have an 028 super too, and its a great saw...but I'd much rather have the power and pack around a few extra pounds. If I had the cash I wouldn't even think about buying a new saw under 70cc's... I just cut firewood though, so I'm sure many will think differently.

[stihl for life]

the world is going to all this computer stuff might as well get into the technology so u can get use to it .

 

[demc570]
