I haven't got a 201 but do use one sometimes and it's rubbish compared to the 200! Im looking at getting a 441 but a bit dubious after the 201s performance.

 

I do not know because some rave about the 441 but we found it was a very poor saw, sure partnered with a 16" bar it was a flyer, it just spent more time getting maintained with bits breaking off it constantly, broken av's and various plastics. So it ended up on the parts shelf, yet the 460's that are older and been in service 4 times longer were the go to saws of choice.

 

We now have 461's as other than the golden screw capped 10 years old 460 which still runs like a champ the other 460's were stolen. And have to say the 461 really feels like a proper Stihl saw should.

Also have a 661 and again solid build unlike the 441's and so far impressed, let's see how they fair after a couple of years.
