which is better 272xp or 372xp

[big4runr]

I'm wanting to buy a 372xp, but ran across a good deal on a good condition 272xp. I've read that the 272 was discon. because of epa laws. So if I buy this saw I wont have to mess around with the muffler? Is this true? Are there any bad problems with the 272. What type of power does it produce, and weight?
thanks

How much less is this 272 over the 372? I have run both of these saws. Tough choice. The 372 spins a little faster and has better anti-vibe. If the 272 is in good shape and can be had at a good price, go for it!
