I didnt know you had one congrats.
Got it early March last spring, had a 2 acre triangular lot with primaries running down the two long sides my buddy had to clear. He gets me to drop the big stuff, there was a dozen 30" maples and oaks along with a crap load of poplars. He steers them with the excavator so there is no question they land where they are supposed to. The 500i is great for felling those sized trees, I like my ms440 but that 500 is an animal.
 
We're talking iconic/classic/popular for the brand, to represent it in a collection, right?
Not necessarily the nicest to use or "best" to modern standards, or the biggest/baddest they ever made, or most desirable to have today ...
I'd consider the likes of:
Stihl Contra, 08S, 026/260
Dolmar CA/CC, 112, 115/120(si), 123 or 133
Solo Rex?, 635/626-ish, 620VA-ish,
Husqvarna MS-70-ish, MS 90, 65, 254, 61/266
Jonsereds XF, 60/601, 80, 49SP
Partner R11/12-ish, R22-ish
Pioneer 620/650, P28/41-ish
Poulan 245A, 3400/4000, Micro XXV-ish
Homelite XL-12/XL Automatic
McCulloch 250, 10-10, Mini Mac-ish models
Oleo Mac (Olympyk) 250-series or Agristar
Alpina A-40, 0-70S
Echo ... dunno hard to pick ... the twins are iconic of course

just some other models to consider ...
 
I’ve never messed with a Mac but I see them for sale damn near everywhere and a lot on this forum.
Also, what’re peoples thoughts on the dolmar 7900? Heard badass things about that saw

I have a newer Model 7910 HD that I purchased last yr. Awesome saw , lots of torgue , that matches up nice with my 5105 H as the 1 / 2 punch for felling , bucking & l imbing sessions . Parts will be available for yrs much like the Mac 's . I have never relied on Dealerships !
