Can't go far wrong with a good condition MS260 I reckon. Loads about.

 

357xp is good, but it's sort of neither fish nor fowl if you're going to end up with a bigger saw as well since it isn't all that light (5.7kg? Something like that).

 

I'm quite partial to an Efco/Oleo Mac. The 147/947 or 152/952 (45cc and 50cc) are good value new; fairly light 'farmer' saws (oxymoron!). Parts easy to come by, in production for ages, fast enough, well made...

 

Just a thought.

And a very fair thought too. I'm not up to the level of you chaps, so I suppose I was thinking if the 357 was enough of a step up from the MS280 then it'd date my desire for something a little larger and then further down the line I could add something much smaller and lighter for limbing / tidying work.

 

Please do shout if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
