IMO - 461R with 28" light will do almost anything u need it to small or BIG. 362 is half the saw a 461 is power wise and it saves you only 1.7lbs whoopie. 362 only good up to 20". 461 with 28" not as much bending over or reaching.
And I would bet money that if we put a blind fold on ya. and put a 461R with 28" light in your hands and then a 362R 20" std bar. You would like the 461 setup better.

I ran a 362cm yesterday with a 28 light bar, it did great, gotta remember that where im at the forest is 99.9 percent softwood, heck I ran my 562 with a 30" for a full year logging. The trees are only getting smaller round here and my back is getting older. the 461 to me feels about the same weight as the 661. once you get over 14 pound powerhead any saw just feels heavy.

361 may be better ,but it is still not AWESOME like the 362 !!361 is better!
I dont know if I would want you, hedging bets for me
remember last week your 661 running 50;1 was going to beat my ported 661 running 32:1,,,, LOL just saying... I dont think I would want you betting my money 
It automatically puts you in the highly skilled bracket on stihls website..or so ive heard...faster than a unicorn for sure.

You guys must be really bored, the dead horse beating just never stops.
Ryan, Got to run a 661 at GTG, very, very nice, smooth and powerful. But, those Smittybilt 064 and 660s will spank it!

Well I have to say Im getting really tired of getting the run around and getting yelled at by the tech at the dealership. I called stihl rep northwest and told him my problem, then he told the mechanic that I called him, then all hell broke loose. Never been treated so rude in my entire life. I asked if I could get a new saw cause you cant figure this one out, he said "not a chance in hell". He then told me he ordered a new intake boot that isn't on any production saws yet. It has been reported that the fuel is puddling in the intake.
Anyways the whole situation is screwed and will never ever buy anything from this dealer again. ohh then the stihl rep said that the dealer should have the diagnostic tool, but the tech told me it wont do any good without a wind tunnel to run the saw in WTF

now I have to wait another week for the new intake boot to come in. The next nearest dealer cant even look at the saw for 2 weeks cause they are behind, WTF happened to taking care of the pro guys?
Sorry to hear of the problems your having. my 661 has been flawless!
I kind of got lost in your post, did the rep, or was it the tech that treated you rude, and said not a chance in hell?

It was the stihl tech at the dealership. The rep was a real nice guy
that is eniff to piss a guy off! Did you ask the tech about a buy back deal? Or better dealer to take it to?
I asked the tech about the buyback. The rep I asked about a different dealer with the diagnostic software
Awesome.
I get were the tech is coping up an attitude, as I myself have been a Husqvarna tech, and I have been yelled at by the area rep for not getting customers projects that where under warranty fixed in a timely manner. But did I get an attitude with the customer???? NEVER did I treat a customer like that.
This intake boot thing is getting interesting.... first the standard booty then the booty with donuts and now a whole new booty. Mabie that's what I need for my worn out body is a new booty
