I suspect that your only interested in adding one of these to your collection to have another cool saw. Looks like you've got the work saw department covered. With that in mind, I consider the 1050 more collectable at this point than the 038 Mag. It's considerably older, not only in time, but in technology. It's 100 cc. Put simply, it's big, old, and cool.
Brad, you and your camera make me absolutely crazy--saw p00rnn at it's best. Yes indeed, I'm just hunting for cool saws. So the 1050 is big, old and cool, huh? That's what I want to be when I grow up so I guess I'd better get the Homie. But I'm glad you chimed in because I know you have extensive 70cc experience with 440, 460, 441, Husky 372 and more. So subjectively speaking, for feel, sound and so on--not so much about power or outright cutting speed--what makes the 038 Magnum so attractive? Specs and timed cuts don't count here; I'd just like some opinions about what makes the 038 Mag a cool old guy.
You guys are killing me; I know it's crazy for me to be looking to pick up 2 saws I don't even need but what's a guy with CAD to do? But then I know nobody on this site was about to talk me back off the ledge to keep me from jumping! LOL
Thanks,
