    This is exactly where I'm at. I have everything from a top handle to a 94cc covered, with a couple instances of redundancy thrown in there too. I'll be selling a couple at some point.

    I sold my 201 rear handle and I would get another 201 or 151 rear handle for the right price. If my 462 blew up I’d replace it, but dang it would hurt to do it. Got it for 1080.00 and I have not checked the new golden age economy price.

    I bought my 346XP (50cc) in 2008, I use it more than any other saw I have. I love it, won't be replacing it any time soon.

    Yep, they're really nice saws!

    Good post! The Stihl 300 seems intriguing, but I already have 3 50cc saws so it be redundant. Somebody mentioned a Stihl 064, if I found a decent one I’d probably have to buy it. Other than that I have more saws than I have time to
    Use them.

    Maybe a 372XP but need to clean up and move out my MS460 and MS660. Otherwise, happy with what I have as well.

    These days I just buck delivered logs with a long enough bar to not have to bend over much, say a 28". Not a climber, a limber, or needing to hike a long ways with a saw so little saws don't appeal.

    I think I'd like to try the largest echo, that 7310. It's only 73.5 cc but it reminds me of my dolmar 6400 that I've really grown to like. Plus I own other echo equipment and it's been great.

    a 395xp or a ms660 would also be fun. Real or clone doesn't matter.

    I checked out the Stihl inventory at a local OPE dealer Saturday. No 400.1 or 300c. The guy there took my number and was talking to a rep this week.

    They did have a sweet 100th anniversary 500i on display. Not for sale at $5000
