I was in that group for a long long time. I learned over time that if a saw does what it is supposed to do, cut wood,it is good enough for me.But I do understand the guys out there making a living with a saw and runing hard everyday.I would buy the top of the line as well.If the China saw last me 3 years for the amount of cutting I do with a 70 cc saw,I will be pretty happy and probably buy another one.I have a Husky 545 Mark 2 I use for most of my cutting,and a 6421 Makita for some bigger stuff.I will run a 24" on the clone for the occasional bigger tree or stump.We have a lot of dead ash trees here and I like to be able to make one back cut and get the hell out from under them.

I plan on disinfecting it when it gets here.Maybe wear a mask and soak it down with hand sanitizer lol.
And always wear a mask,from now on, when using it... !!!

What's a mask gonna do?, you do know viruses are smaller than the pores in the mask don't you....
I may not wear a mask while using it,but I will have a brown paper bag over my head.

My hat, my glasses| and a mask, always these virus buffet times.
Not sure what relevance it has to the 272 or 372 though, those will rip no matter what.

Absolutely nothing... but wear it until you love it!

My guess there is a reason why all the nurses where masks at hostiptals during surgery, dont know what it is though.
I've had very good results from my G372 (50mm pop up piston mufflermod) and my G372XP (52mm BB, BGD , muffler mod ,woods ported by me).
I use them for firewood and dropping random trees at work not logging or timber production.
Some basic saw knowledge and tuning really does make a difference, they can be pig rich out of the box and be dogs.

And you don't think that would be beneficial to ordinary Joe in this day and age?
I don't care what you do.. I don't mind my hat, my glasses and the medical face mask.
I have not been sick with anything for about two years now.

I was referring to your comment about nurses.
I cannot remember the last time I had the flu (never had the coof) and I don't wear a mask.
Do you know how many viruses the Human body has?, God gave us an immune system for a reason.

Well, a pandemic grade virus that will certainly kill your mum should crave your attention.
If it doesn't, well.. don't blame it me.
We arguing face mask safety on a chainsaw forum.

Nowhere in our chat have I blamed you
.
My G372XP needed quite a bit of tuning, but overall has been pretty good. I did go through it to check tightness and can confirm the drum bearings come dry as a bone. I run a 24" bar and she cuts well. I use it in my saw rotation depending on log size and it's been reliable, even in the cold. I also really like my G660 and it was pretty pissah right out of the box.
Not the most powerful or the fastest saws out there but they have the torque I like.
And this series is just enjoyable to me to run and really wakes up to porting but not necessary to cut anything anyone would need cut.
I like 365/371/372s but they are more high pitched
High revving saws
The 2 series just lumber along doing the job.
Too bad the oem supplied Brazilian 272s dried up
I wanted one.
