If 40cc is your goal, then I'd go with a good used 024 first and a ms250 as the second choice, with the Dolmar 420 as the third option. I haven't run the Dolmar, but I have a 024 and really like it. I have run a MM ms 250 and it was close to my stock 024 in power but not in build. If your gonna pinch and pull on the the saw the ms250 is not the best choice as the rubber AV mounts tend to pop out. You should be able to get a good 024 for $125-$200 on Ebay. Whichever saw you get just make sure to get the non safety chain. It makes a big difference in these small saws. In .325 I tend to like the yellow Stihl chain.
