I can't decide if I should get a 441 and a 661 or a 461 and a 661? I think the 461 is probably the best saw I've ever used, does anyone have any experience with a 661 and is really worth the extra cash over a 461?

661 is a good saw but I rarely use one.  Nomally a 461 all the way then onto the 880.  Only time I prefer a 661 over a 880 is in the tree 

Cheers Steve, that's what I was referring to actually, a 880 swinging from the hip is an uncomfortable afternoon which is why I'm looking at the new 661, if I can get a long enough bar on it I reckon it'll be my go to saw.
I agree with Steve but I would rather use a 661 with a three foot bar than the 880 for most jobs.  You can throw a 25" bar on the 461, nice for chogging down with.

I reckon that settles it then, a 46 and 61[emoji1360], that was my gut feeling.
We have a 441 , it's a very lacklustre saw. Hardly ever gets used.

Cheers Timon, I was about to buy one but now after hearing this I reckon I'll skip it.

We go from  560xp (18")- 576xp (25") -ms880 (30")

I'm not religious about the husky or Stihl thing

Seems to work well for us, the vast majority of our work being back yard domestic.
