CR888 nailed it. It's more than about weight, or any one factor alone. I think this is because the 241 really is such a surprising saw that it just doesn't fit into super simple judgement methods. It's a great weight for the power, the fuel efficiency gets more done in certain wood than you would believe at first, it feels really well balanced in use, etc.
I have to laugh at the moaning about the 241's price up there. US$859 here is the approx' RRP. I don't think Stihl NZ sell many here for that reason alone. When you look at our pricing, you'd think we were a rich country. But the price gouging of the big boys here help keep many of us wood guys in the 'working poor' category.
Another thing to consider, even though we seem to have scared the original poster off, is they have a 362 already and are looking for something to compliment it, so I'm not convinced the 241 fits into that two saw plan as well as the little Echo they mentioned would. Heck, my two saw plan, which I consider the ducks nuts for me, is the 241 and a Dolmar 7900, about 20cc more than the 362. Because of the effective power of the 241 with picco bar and chain, the gap between it and the near 80cc Dolmar is not an issue and I don't find myself wanting a saw between the two. I very rarely use the 20" bar on the Dolmar any more, preferring to just grab the 241. Although I am still searching for a great, solid (not laminated) 18" picco bar for it. It already stands up well with 16" bar buried in very dense wood.
So, if the OP is looking for the lightest saw still capable of cutting their idea of small wood to "compliment" their 362 then perhaps, as good as the 241 is, there is a better (for them) and cheaper option.
