Well....late to the party, but tell me, what's ONE thing a 461 will do better than a 7910 Dolmar that can be had for $600-$700. I'd just like to know ONE thing it'll do better??? I know what I'd do in your situation, I'd buy a better saw for much less money. Buy a Stihl hat or T-shirt if you must. Stihl spends huge money making people (like here) think the way they do, sometimes a Stihl is the best answer, in this situation simply its NOT.good deal thank you and thanks to everyone for info and thoughts
today i found a ms461 local for $1000 w/25 inch out door only wanted a 20 inch bar but oh well
