Darn I thought I was going to have more fun with this.
I've got to say the 261 is better than I expected. First it feels plenty light, it also has great throttle response for any new saw, especially for a new strato saw. This may be too early in the game, but I think it does have more power than my 346, and it has great torque for a 50cc saw. Remember my 346 has a MM and non limited coil. Time will prove or disprove my currant opinions. I don't think it handles like the 346, but it's a close call, better than most Stihl's in that respect.
Anyway here's the full vid of Brad's 261 in the wood.. We were cutting hard dry Oak, and some hard maple.
