I'm the man in the box
I'm going to suggest a different approach.
If I was stumping 24" hardwoods I'd want more then the 361.
Your 026 is fine for all the small-med stuff but you should really be in the 70 cc territory for large hardwoods. The 026 and 361 are just too close together for a 2 saw plan given your type of cutting.
I'd suggest 372XP, 440, 7900, 460, 6401 or 441 as your second saw that you break out for the big stuff. (probably in about that order)
If the 038 Mag is too heavy then sell it. (they bring top dollar)
:agree2:I would also suggest a bigger second saw for the big stuff, I was just trying to stick with what he was already talking about. I run a Shindaiwa 488 for almost everything(comparable to the MS260) and a 757 for the big stuff(comparable to MS440/MS460).
