Just wanted to chime in, and say awesome saws by the way. One of the best models ever produced. Over shadowed by the 372 in my opinion, but just as good as the best built of today, maybe better. Very well built, great handling, and power to weight ratio.
Yup. Add the 288 and 254 and there's a complete 3 saw set.
Those three made the company a lot of money and many diehard fans.
Be interesting to know what the final NA production numbers were for each.
