I have a husky 246 that I love. it's a light wieght screamer. Are the new 346's the same saw? is there any difference? thanks

The 346xp was the first one in a totally new family of saws. It would surprice me if they shared much more than the available cutting attachments.
The 346 has better antivibe, air filtration and chain brake design.
It also has a bit more rpms and power output.
