I can't lie though. One time I drove out to a husky dealer about 45 min away. I wanted to get my hands on a husky saw just to compare. This dealer sold both stihl and husky so I was able to compare them side by side. What turned me off was that I knew more about the saws than the guy behind the counter. No lie. He couldn't even answer the length of the warranty when I asked.
Anyway from an untrained uneducated firewood cutter I can tell you this.
The 550xp felt like a race car compared to the 261! With that being said I used to own a 261 and really liked it. I just don't need that much saw anymore. I am afraid what I am about to purchase will fall short since I am forever spoiled by the first real saw I owned. The 261
