I need help choosing a medium-sized firewood saw.

[Hayubusa]

Mid-range saw

Husky 357XP or Stihl 361.

I really like the 357XP with a 16 to 18 inch bar. Lots of power, very nimble, good all around saw. Only issues I know of are the chain brake not releasing and some issues with the auto decomp. Have had no problems with mine.

+1 ....my 357 has an auto decomp as well and I've had no issues with that at all, totally love the saw. The chain break not releasing can prove to be a major pain if you screw up when taking your bar off but I've only done that twice (forcing myself to clean it when I was tired!!).
