Hard to answer, as you don't say where in the present line-up the new saw shall fit.

If you want to replace the 254 with a new saw with about the same weight and a bit more power, the obvious answer is MS361.........


...and if you want the saw to be lighter than the 254, the best answers probably are either Dolmar PS-5100 (allmost retaining the power, but a tad lighter), or Husky 346xp (lighter than the 5100, but also less power).

346 sounds like the ticket im trying to fit inbetween the 335 and 254

has anyone tried the 339xp

has anyone tried the 339xp

Mike Maas uses the 336, the little brother of the 339xp, and like it a lot, I understand (339xp hasn't been available in the US until recently).

...but the 339xp is the rear handle version of the 338xpt, so I don't think it will fill your bill - to little power gain over the 335.

..and whatever you get, make sure that it isn't a cat version.

346 is a fine choice, you just need to accompany it with razor sharp chain for best effiency...
