First i want to say this is an awesome site, thank you guys for all the great info so far that i have been reading. But now i kind of have a question that is specific for me. I heat my home 100% with wood. I have a ms 290 now. I stopped at a stihl dealer and i have never been to before today looking for saws. ( I think i got this thing you guys call CAD!!) They have a used 260,440 and 460. I want to go with a 2 saw plan 50 and 70cc. i have some concerns though. The 260 is not a pro model, from my understanding the only thing diffrent is it doesn't have an adjustable oiler on it. Will this cause me problems down the road.( i want to eventually do a MM on it) and i can't deside between the 440 and 460. I don't need the 460, but man do those saws rip:chainsawguy:. I cut prolly 15 cords of wood a year, mostly hard wood, but nothing very large. I put a 100 dollar down payment to hold all 3 but i only have till tomorrow to decide, so i figured i would ask all of you guys for help! all of the saws were in pretty decent shape and money is deffinatly a factor, so if i can get buy with the 440 i better go with it. also wondering if they prices they are asking sound about right. 260-$250, 440-$500, 460- $650 thank you guys in advance
