Any more word fellas? I've got some money burning a whole in my pocket for one of these and the mythical 572xp.

Is it me? Or are new production saw designs starting to look like high tech bicycle helmets?

I hear they make great boat anchors and door stops.

On a more related note, why would Stihl fix something that isn't broke? The 461 is a fantastic machine.

So was the 660, the 661 is an improvement upon a great saw.

440 vs 044?
Pretty much the same saw. The replacement 441 was initially a disaster... but the CM version has grown on me.

Yeah, but the 660 was a pretty dated platform, the 461...not so much.
Injected is addl $ and addl wt, don't hold your breath.
I had a non M Tronic 441 and actually like it. I sold it to my next door neighbor and he loves it. I actually just sharpened the chain on that saw today. I know the web site says they are the same, but I would like to see the actual wt of both a non M Tronic and a M Tronic version posted (I don' trust website wts). I have a suspicion that the non M Tronic version is lighter.
I've also heard the ported ones may run a little stronger because you can advance the timing.

Ain't no guru of nuthin'
There are some m tronic saws that go better with timing advanced and some that don't. Same as any saw. You can check brads video on the new 201tcm - it got a nice gain from advancing the ignition. My ported 562 husky gained a little too.
The traditional carby version may be stronger after porting, if it is I don't think it's because of the ignition side of the game.
I must be the odd one out, had a 441Rcm from Mastermind, smooth fantastic power, great ground saw but never liked the feel of it or the balance as a climbing saw
The 044xb he sent me feels so much better and being a new recipe has bags of power

I have a regular carb 441 that's was ported by Randy and it flat out screams, so much so that I sold my ported 461. I also ran it side by side with a 441c that was also ported by Randy and I thought they were dead even.
I don't think Randy likes to move the timing on M Tronic saws, and I believe I saw that is why his 261s w/o M Tronic may be a bit stronger due to that.
Treesmith, as you know, I flat out agree with you on those new recipe 044s! Hard to imagine a saw with better power/wt. Would like to see if the 12mm s are just as strong.
