is the 5100 a bit stronger and faster since it has a bit more hp than the 2153? i have held both, and like the feel of either so i am just want to know what saw is more powerful, if at all,a nd how the motors will hold up in time.
I don't think there are much power difference in the real world, if any - specs notwithstanding - time will tell........
The Dolmar is heavier than the NE346xp (and 2153), and doesn't feel as compact/nimble in the woods, but the Dolmar is more of an allround saw, because of the inboard clutch.
You can't really go wrong with either.
I would surely go with the MS361, over the 2156/357xp - but again, you can't really go wrong with either.
