Hi i have run a ms250 for a couple of years now ,like the saw but i know there is better out there. I use a 14" bar , and use the saw every day from railway clearance to crosscutting timber, the saw cost me £215 in a sale, i have a ms460 for larger work , i really would like good power to weight , many thanks

Got to be a 550 then . 13"-15" bar . Bit more grunt would be 560 on 15" - 18" bar. Loads of threads on here about them.

I think it is a "semi pro " type saw . Probably the same as the Husqvarna equivalent . ( used to be a 345 but not sure what the numbers are now ) Got no problem with Jonnies as they are just different colour huskys . Would still go for a full pro saw though . When you say " power to weight ratio " in that size saw it just has to be a 550xp . I have a 560 and rate that and every one I speak to says the 550 is equally as good only lighter .........Try one if you can
