Wow what an offer! Hopefully I can get up your way sometime! One of the biggest reasons I want a bigger saw is cause I have an uncle that helps me cut firewood and every time someone makes positive comments about my saws (that he runs the whole time while I split by hand and load) he says "Huh! There aint a Husky out there that can out do a Stihl of the same size". I am not brand loyal and around here dealer support is about equal all the way around. The only big Stihl he has ever ran (and it was just for a little while) was a 046 and he bases all his opinions on this one saw. He has an MS250 and ever since he ran my Husky 350 for the first time (about a month ago and we have cut every weekend since) he has not started his Stihl since. He just runs the 350 outa gas and grabs the 346xp, runs it outa gas and by this time I have more fuel and oil in the 350 and it goes back and forth from one to the other. If I could get a good deal on a MS460 I wouldn't hesitate to get one, but I have had really good service outa my Husky's. I have never run a big saw so it would definitely be nice to try one out before I spent money. Thanks for the willingness to help, I really appreciate it!
