Only partly, as better handling and better trigger response also are parts of the picture - actually the most important parts!
Then, there are a few minor details like air filtration and AV.

Can you elaborate? Do you have a slalom that you run them thru? How many G's you pullin in the corners? Do you run Z rated tires?
For petes sakes, the heaviest 50cc saw out there, still weighs less than my lunch box????

and now doesn't it seem like they're all sayin "yeah, but the 346 is better handling than the 261"? how would they even know when (and correct me if i'm wrong here) we only know of like a dozen people maybe that have even ran one!

I have a question,1, does this saw have a fully adjustable carburetor? 2.Does it have a catalytic converter or is it not necessary?3.Will it pull a 20BC in 3/8ths? Ken

I seriously doubt it has a cat muffler. I don't know of any strato saw that does.

1. yes
2. no cat needed on strato saws
3. probably not, you need 60cc's for that anyway.

One final question. Is this saw made of Magnesium or plastic? Is it a clam shell design? Ken

1. Yes
2. No, not any listed in the IPL anyway.
A 20" 3/8 b&c? Hard to say without me running one, mine will have a 16" unless I feel it can handle more. From the few vids I've seen, 20" doesn't seem like a problem.

Mag and the crankcase/cylinder is built just like the 260. No clam shell on this bad boy.

I said minor - but it still is very different, and some call the 026/260 "the carpal tunnell mashine" - that was not me, btw....

A long way off, 026 is the easiest 50 cc saw I have ever ran on my back arms etc, and yes I have owned 346 s and 5100 s .
