I like my 362, nice balance particularly with a 15" bar.

560xp - I run both and always pick up the Husky. I think the Stihl pulls a 20" bar better if cross cutting bigger timber, but the Husky is amazing on a 15 or 18".

Stihls do have that extra grunt when you need it.

the 346 xp with 15" is the bomb, though the 550xp is supposed to be better, but i like to wait a wile before buying just out saws so they can sort out the initial teething problems (which according to manufacturers at both stihl and husky never ever happen!) as for stihl if you can get one the 361 is bomber (i dilsike very much the 362) and the old 260 is good but have also heard good things about the new one. But if i had the cash in my hand it would still be a 346 xp or the 550 if i was feeling daring (and seeing as i already have a 346 it would be the 550) - by the way the i use to have 260 as my climbing saw, ground saw logging saw (painfully slow on the big stuff) and have used the 346 in similar fashion when my 20T died half way up a tree. So i think they are the best general purpose saw, but having a properly sharp chain will make all the difference, i've out cut a 440s with my 346 before now that where supposedly sharp....
