Of course I'm disappointed with the ported results. But I can't find fault with the saw. I can guarantee you that Stihl isn't building saws so that they will port well. This saw was built to be sold and run as is. It's an awesome saw right out of the box, 22% faster than the 026. And I suspect faster than a 346 NIB. We'll soon find out.
What does this mean to someone like me, a power junkie? It simply means my 346 is going no where. Honestly, I like the 261 better, but I just can't give up the ported power If I ran stock or MMd saws only, the 346 would be sold.
