I'm sorry, but I just can't see the point of the 241. The 261 is only 10% heavier, for a 25% power increase

On paper yes, 10%, pick one up though it feels much smaller and more manoeuvrable.

 

Same argument could apply to saying no point in the 400 just buy a 462, but they're different saws to use.

24 series are all gutless ime.

Go light or go 261.

Id go 550 over the 261 every day .. but again the 241 is a great pencil sharpener for ground work , although if I wanted a really lightweight saw I think I’d get the 2511 with back handle.

241 is very good on 3/8 lo pro chain it’s a reaper . But still 261 or 550 is better

Thank you for the comments,and yes I must confess I have a 261 and also a 181 too. But I still WANT a 241.as I often tell my good lady when being queried yet again on why I'm buying yet another  machine-I'm NOT wasting money-its an investment.

If you're going to make an investment then get a husky...😁
