    Not that this tidbit is helpful, but I don't think you'd make a mistake whichever of the three you sent it to.

    I don't know that any of them do better work on one model versus another, but it would be interesting to know if any of them are particularly fond of the 441. I sent my MS261 to Brad - not that I felt he was necessarily better than any of the others, but I knew he did great work on the 261 and he posted a lot about them and the work that he did on them, so I knew it was a model of interest for him (at least at that time).

    I suppose another thing to consider is how patient/impatient you are and how that aligns with the potential backlog with each of them.

    Tough decision . . . good luck!

    I've got a banana appointment for mine, so I guess mastermind would be my vote. Full disclosure though, I don't know a thing about any of them other than that everybody seems to love their extra bananas.

    I hear Mike Lee ports a bad azz 441..... :cheers:

    As to if any of the builders like the 441, I know at one time Randy (MasterMind) said it was his favorite Stihl. I know my 441 is a helluva good time too.:saw::saw::saw:

    I'm a little too busy with my 7-12 work schedule to take any work. I would say Jasha is the least back logged right now.

    Mastermind loves his 441's. If you chose him, get in line. I heard he's booked into the end of June.

    I wont knock any of the ones listed so far, there isn't a bad choice in any of them.
    Since its a vote, and not a pizzin contest ............. I have to give my ballot to Terry. He has done 2 WWS kits for me so far, and is currently looking for a cylinder for my 3rd kit. (038 Mag, 044/046 Hybrid, and now 066)

    They are WICKED !!!!!
