I have a 562 that I have noodled with quite a bit. The stock chain catcher makes noodling fairly slow and not too effective. Mine has the roller...
No personal experience, but I have read some good reviews of the cs 355 echo.
I haven't run either model very much, but what time I have I like the 461 better.

If you can find some 23rs chain, you might like it on your 51. I have run the 20 lpx and the 20 rc on this size saw, but I think I like the Stihl...
I have run the 475 and the 505 in the Poulan colors and they are strong runners.
He will be ready for a saw before you know it. Hope he stays interested when he gets big enough.
I will be interested in how you like the bar. I have been thinking of getting one for my 562. Your saw will definitely be a good firewood saw. One...
Is the bar one of the laminated ones they sell?
