If you only want one saw then a 372 and some differing length bars . If money is no object then 550,560,372,390,395,3120...

 

What bars would you have?

I do think I will end up going this way my 346 is a great saw i got it just as 550 come out .just not sure on this auto tune rubbish .ive got a mate who got a 560 nothing but problems but I would think the problems have been sorted by now.

 

I said exactly the same when I heard about the autotune saws, now I wouldn't doubt them

i don't cut anything that warrants a 42! 30" gives me 60" ish although have a nice pop to fell where a 36" would be nice!

Irrespective of make or model, I wouldn't have a 70cc saw and a 60, they're too close.

 

70ish cc saw certainly but you'd pair it up with something in the 40 to 50cc bracket, having done that I reckon you could cope with just about anything.

A longer bar gives you more options, you could use it for milling up to 36", and is always useful when you need that bit more.

Oh and you can do more than 60" with a 30" bar

well 120" then but going full 360 round a log isnt always practical! i wouldn't mind getting into milling its just the time! and money!

I was thinking that I must admit I could stick with the 346xp as I only got in June 2012 and go with a 372.

As for bar size I was thinking 15" on the 560 and 20" on 372.
