16" MSRP on 550xp's are $649.95. MS261cm's are $579.95. Gotta pay more for the technology.
Huskys are charging more because they are adding the expected warranty costs to the consumer.

Bryan Equipment, the distributor in this area, is all out of the OE MS261s. All you can get now is a MS261C.
Ok. How much off DSRP can one expect "favors" to translate into?
I recently spoke with a lady who was liquidating her father's stihl dealership. She claimed that saw markup was only 10-15%, and it was hard to stay in business. Any truth to that?
Signed, a broke guy who has bought five new STIHL OPE, and many parts and accessories in the last three years from the same dealer.

Been thinking about maybe getting a MS261 and saving $80 over the MS261 CM. What do you guys think? I am just worried about the M-tronic having problems or constantly having to worry about retuning it (is it like the autotune as far as tuning)
Help me

That's a good question... I can't seem to pin these guys down around here. There must be a good discount to the larger dealers for buying more than the small guys... I've seen 346's for damn near 600 bucks, when at the same time, a sponsor here was selling em for less than 500..
Farm and home down the road has 550's for 560 bucks!!!
They're all over the place.. Miss marks??? Volume buying???
Looks like i am going to put $150 down and order one tomorrow, should have it in by friday, then all i got to do it pay it off in the next month or so. Gonna get one with an 18" b&c.

I have zero experience with the 261cm. I have the regular 261. Anyways check out Randy's (Mastermind's) 261cm thread and I believe that he mentioned that the mtronic is a better system compared to the autotune. I am not trying to put words in his mouth, just saying that a skilled saw builder has stated this.
Regardless, go with your gut feeling. But I would say the 261cm will be built like the rest if stihl's 50cc saws, like a tank.
