Some more non-pro advice
Sounds like the 260 is working fine for you. I agree with Sawtrol that if you decide on a bigger saw, skip the 60cc size and jump to something larger. That is if you plan on one more saw.
However, if you are like me and are a part timer bitten by the “saw bug’ then consider this. I had a 50 cc saw and went out and bought a 65 cc saw knowing that in the future I would want a 3rd saw. Partially because I need it, and partially because I want it. (the XL12 runs well but is on inactive reserve).
I am now planning to grab a Dolmar 7900 in the next few months. Three saws across the power range will give me a little more flexability. I'll also be able to hand my father a decent saw when he comes over to cut wood with me.
Now….I am not saying that this is the most logical or financially sound plan. It is not. But, it is one to consider if you think in a few years you might want a 3rd saw.
