The 362 is still the same ballpark, power wise. If you want your saw to last, don't burn it up.
If you would cut tree's lets say 30" hardwood, I would also advice a 70cc (to 90cc) (at least 6 HP or so). If you are burying your bar, I use the formula 1HP for every 10cm (about 4 inches)
You can get away with far less, but it won't be as fun, and your saw won't have a good laugh either. It's going to wear out the clutch, the bar won't get enough oil, has to work overtime etc.
If that mark up is to much, first remember you just pay it ones and hopefully will last you years and years.
Second, if you can't afford it, let go of that Stihl logo. They are very expensive.
Better buy the right tool for the job.
Stihl or no Stihl.
