Yes and make the 20" a stihl lite.
Thanks, my friend

I agree, but it seems he's a stihl guy, but at least he like saws
.
OP are you stuck on the stihls, or are you willing to grab up another brand, nothing wrong with stihls, but there are a lot of other great choices.
The early 362 was the biggest turd without being ported, and the 562 is also for what the numbers show. As for it not having much more power than a 50cc saw I would have to disagree, also the 50cc stihls ain't nothing special just as good as the husky 50cc(and as for personal preference I like the handling of the huskys). Out of all the pro saws I've ran the early model 362 and the 562's have been the worse per the ratings, I've only ran a ported 362c, but I wouldn't hesitate to get one.
Agreed, 50cc is where it's at based on the OP's current lineup, I most times go from a 40-50-70 rare to grab a 60. I use a 440 with a 20" lite bar for my lightweight 70cc saw, if you only fill the tanks half full it will weigh less than a 362 or 562 and a pro grade 20" bar full of fuel.
The bar you choose to run can play into the weight of the total package a lot, even running a cheap non replaceable tip bar lightens things up a lot.
I think what you really "need" and would be happy with is a ported stihl 241 or a dolmar/makita 421.
A 346/550 or a 260/261c version or the standard carb would also be nice.
I'm not sure what "smaller work" is.
