I agree, I don't know why anyone would buy a 461 for the meager price difference, unless they needed a smaller saw. Before I chose the 661 I looked at the prices on all the 4.4hp+ Stihl saws and the 660/661 is the saw with the best "value" price/hp/weight.

I looked at a 441cm and 661cm yesterday and maybe my eyes are lieing, but the 661cm looks and feels smaller than the 441cm.
I gave 949.00 for a 461 R
A 461 is $950 here, where as a 661 is $1160, and a 661R is $1210.
I never actually went and physically looked at saws. I wish I could have. The biggest saw my dealer has is a 441 and none of his saws have a wrap handle. He gave me a weird look when I said I wanted to try a wrap handle this time around. He said "I don't see the need, I think it would just get in the way".
Maybe it is just the area, but I'm pretty sure I've seen 441 C-M and 461s priced over a grand. Don't know if they have, or what they would get for a 661.

Brian, have U run a 661 yet???
so wood you recommend taking spare underwear with when cutting with the 661? Or maybe just wear a rubber, that wood save some of the mess, make it easier to clean up afterwards
