Summary:
This saw would be perfect for the farmer with an acerage with poplar and small willow and spruce/ pine under 25cm dia. Any thing larger or using this saw on a production fall would be useless. Great to clear underbrush.
Strengths:
Very light weight, good second saw, great on small diameter trees (under 8 inches) great for pre cleaning felled areas (access and egress trails). Great fuel economy, extremely durable. So -so limbing saw
Weaknesses:
no power on any major falling cuts, useless to buck large diameter trees. lower engine mounts (anti-vibe) fall out very easily. Quick non-tool fuel and oil caps are useless, husky has it there.

Summary:
Overall nice saw, but for the money, you shouldn't have to turn wrenches after less than three years.
Strengths:
Quick Starter. Reliable
Weaknesses:
Got the pro model for the anti-vibration. Paid the extra money, but it ended up being the weak point. Had a bolt bust off with saw less than three years old.

Summary:
great saw with 16" bar,
try to get the rsc chain and es bar
and get the model without the decomp if you can find
Strengths:
light,
fast,
powerful,
low vib,
Reliable
Weaknesses:
don't like the decomp valve on a small saw (something else to break),
the rsc chain and es bar should be standard instead of the e bar with anti kb chain,

Summary:
18" bar with a good chain and i love this saw. Switched over from a Husq 51 and if you liked the 51 you'll LOVE this saw. I've had plenty of power felling trees.
Strengths:
Reliable, excellent working saw. Low vibration, good weight, good power.
Weaknesses:
Oil/Gas filler caps are a pain sometimes, pay attention when putting it on or you'll have gas/oil all over your chaps.

Summary:
18" bar on it and I LOVE this saw. If you're using a saw frequently throughout the week than this is the saw. Yeah the gas/oil caps are a pain but once you got them figured out you're fine.
Strengths:
Reliable, tough, goodweight and Low vibration. Plenty of power dropping trees.
Weaknesses:
Oil and Gas filler caps are sometimes a pain to get on. Have come off a few times on me when they're not on correctly. A bit pricey for the everyday homeowner but I would sacrafice a thing on this saw to make it cheaper.

Summary:
You'll fall in love with this saw, be sure (like above) to get an 18" bar with a good chain, none of that low-kickback stuff either. The saw runs great and is built well for everyday use, and well I use it pratically everyday. Pay attention to the oil and gas caps and you'll be fine.
Strengths:
Reliable, tough, low vibration, and plenty of power. Easy to control and start.
Weaknesses:
Once I got the oil and gas caps down pat everything was fine. The price is a bit steep for a home owner but I'd hate to see Stihl make ANY changes to this saw to make it cheaper. It's worth every penny.

Summary:
Bought a MS361 and it is a whole another world of performance!
Tons of torque from low to high rpms. Also buying a MS460 for larger trees,
spend the xtra money and get at least the MS361.
Strengths:
lighweight, easy starting,tough.
Weaknesses:
NO low end torque!, this thing must be wide open to really be effective.

Summary:
This saw should last along time.
Strengths:
Great saw. Light weight, low vibration, good power. Works like a dream for cutting firewood and large soft poplar. Saw has a quality feel to it. Chain tensioning, air filter, and sparkplug access are all simple and quick.
Weaknesses:
A little week to run a full 3/8" chain, allthough a 3/8" Skiptooth works well.
