That 365 sp has a closed port cylinder. They aren't super impressive as is but if you were to get bit by the ported saw bug, they can be made to FLY through wood.


If you ever decide to put a larger bore cylinder on it, be sure to not ditch the original one. They are... special. :yes:
 
The 460 is the best saw for only $25 more all things being equal, you will have all the power you need.
Power and resale are the ONLY things that the 460 has on the 365 in IF they're in the same condition. A 365 has (much) better AV, and better air filtration. If you need to work on it the 365 is easier to work on, parts are easier to get and less expensive. It you want to upgrade power there are multiple OEM bolt on options for the 365, for the 460 there's not a lot.
