In stock form, both the 346 and 261 are stronger than the 5100/5105. The same applies after my porting too. The worst part about the 5100/5105 is the limited coil.
It's not about "use" man....time to get over that.
Those are the types of words that can get you banned around here.

Woodymans ported 346 can't beat Grandpatractors stock 5100.

Does your 261 have 200psi cold like alot of 5100's have including the one I had and sold?If my 346 had 200psi cold it would rip I think.I have 173psi cold now.We will see how the 261 does when it get broke in a little. Right now it will not saw with my 5100 and it is stock but broke in!
I have 190 on my 5105 tonight. For that is worth

I have not run the 261, but I have run the 5105, 346, 353, and 260. I do know that the 5105 is almost running with the 346 with the 260 lagging substantially behind. I would, however, love to see what the big hype is with the 261.
346XP handles great. Very good small size saw...
On the other hand, MS260 and 261 are very reliable saws.
Very hard choice...
I prefer using the 346xp but, If I want a really reliable saw (long term investment), I would go for a MS260 or MS261...
You're right about the big hype thing, it happens all to often here. In normal cutting it's hard to tell the max power difference between the 346, 5100 and the 261 without a stopwatch. The 261 and 5100 do make their power down low, the 346 likes rpm's.
Yes, because the 346xp is made for what a 50cc saw really is about, and not as a smaller version of a larger "firewood" saw. :yawn:
