[QUOTE="computeruser, post: 566072, member: 5321"] It makes no difference, except to the extent that the chain pitch and powerhead should be correctly matched for optimum performance. On a 353 I would want to run .325" pitch and I would want 3/8" pitch on the 359 to take advantage of its larger displacement and greater torque. I would run a 16" bar as my primary bar on both saws. Either of those saws will make a great all-around firewood scrounger saw, so you really can't go wrong with either of them. The 353 is similar in performance to my old 026Pro (16", .325" chain), and it recently cut up some 15-20" ash and white oak logs with ease. A more powerful saw, obviously, would make faster work of the same wood, but that speed comes at a price - $$$ and lbs. [/QUOTE]
