Stihl MS261C-M, justify my purchase?

[009L]

I have had issues for a couple of years with them. I am a natural areas contractor who uses 10 ms-261 saws for around 3 months out of they year. I do all the service my self and I replace needle cage bearings and rim sprocket bearings all the time. Some of it is operator error from they guys slamming the break on, and not knowing what to listen for etc. Sometimes they just go bad by them selves no matter what you do. Roll the dice..

Now you tell me....lol!

I've got a 2016 version 2 non Mtronic 261 sitting on my living room floor as I type this.
