I thought every body was running 3/8 pitch on their 346's and up?
It makes me wonder why Stihl and husky don't make this standard.
It's probably a safety chain thing.

No, it definately is not a "safety chain thing" - the level of kickback reduction is the same as with the 3/8" chain that come on larger saws. Husky come with ANSI "yellow" chain (not low kick-back), and Stihl usually with "green" (ANSI low kick-back) in the US, regardless if they are .325 or 3/8".
Over here both brands come with "yellow". I don't know about Canada.
