357 was my favourite saw for a lonng time closely followed by 346 for coppicing but when I snapped chain brake handle on 560 a couple of months ago I brought the 357 out for a couple of days and despite it having like new compression and new AV s it was no comparison to the 560. Last week bought a 562 and am findin it feckin brilliant!

I just commented on it as I thought the 046 was an 044 and saw the decomp button. When I was repairing mine I saw there were cylinders for sale with decomp buttons so on looking into it the 044 was available with two different size small end bearings and also with or without decomp. There was a discussion on the American site about it. Just out of interest my 036 has no decomp but all the ones I've seen have. I don't have time to have "issues" with anything never mind something as trivial as a decomp button :D

044's with a serial # before 129-ish had the 10mm crank, more compression with a different combustion chamber,  and more aggressive porting from the factory. My 10mm 044 feels closer to a 460 than a 440. It easily pulls a 24" bar in hard oak. Back when I was mostly cutting Douglas Fir I used to think the difference wasn't as noticeable. But when you put a longer bar on the 10mm 044, it begins to feel more like an 046.

 

Here's a pic from yesterday:
