Another thing worth noting (when it comes to the debate of old versus new) is that the AV systems and fumes are so much more bearable with the newer generation of saws. I remember stepping up from a MS260 to a 550XP, and as well as gaining a chunk of power, my hands were in much better shape after a day of cutting. 

 

I always thought that the best policy for saws (if you're using them full time in forestry) is to hammer them for 9-12 months and then flog them on eBay and replace. You'll get 2/3 or 3/4 what you paid for them new, avoid those major mechanical issues that happen at that sort of hour count (1500hrs I'd guess) and get a nice shiny new saw to cover in sitka sap  

Exactly this,keep having new,better for reliability and on the body,makes sense,i got a few old ones for sentimental reasons like my 254xp,but couldn,t use one all day now
