    I love my stock 361, too. Just seem right for me. Not saying it's my fave, just saying it's a great saw for me.

    It had been my 026, but the more I run the 036 the more it's becoming my go to saw. Love that thing!

    It was once my 346xp, but my CAD is held in check by my wallet and I sent that out in favor of the ported 2252.

    I have a feeling it will be the 372xp, but I honestly have only cut a few trees since owning both so its hard to declare a favorite.

    Hard to beat a 440 for firewooding around here. However, I always take a smaller saw to the woods with it for limbing. Ported 260/440 combo is practically unbeatable, but I'm warming up to the 2253 the more I use it ;)

    I have the most hours on my husky 455 and I still tend to reach for it when I need to make a few small cuts. When I plan to fell trees or do a fair amount of bucking to log length i find myself reaching for the 576XP more and more. For bucking to stove length my wife helps me pile the saw buck high and I give it hell with the 395...

    I am liking the 2252 more and more. If the wood gets too big for the 50cc, the 562 is mighty nice. I still like noodling with the 2165 or 2171 or 372. My problem is I like all my saws, but I need to find more wood to cut.

    I think your right, it will be my new favorite, for a while :) I probably already left a crumb or two around and I would bet cgraham1 has already figured out what I am getting, he is sharp! Don't think I'll do a contest on this one :) :)
