I don`t know how Ben is going to feel about his Greffardized 026, and I have no idea how mine stacks up to a Power Ported saw, but I am very happy with the 260 Pro that Dennis built for me. Mine really rips and it works out really well for my dad when he uses it instead of a much larger unmodified saw. My 68 yr old father spent the last twenty years of his career as a corporate manager riding a desk. The big saws tire him out fairly quickly now.
As far as Canadian Postal is concerned, I`m at a loss as well. When Dennis sent my 260 back he gave me a tracking #. When I tried to track it, Canada Post told me that the number was invalid or not one of theirs. My saw arrived at my house about three days later, via USPS. I think that my saw must have come through Hull, where they don`t deliver mail in inclement weather, LOL.
