I have 2 036 that are currently stock. They run great. If the 362 is like its older brothers it will run great with the 026.

If you hang out in the Chainsaw forum, you'll learn that most who try one think it's a winner. The 361 is considered a "best-in-class" saw (60cc's) and the 362 is it's replacement. There is a little more weight on the 362, but you also get a little more grunt.

The 362 has a more useful powerband than the 361, and is smoother, but a little heavier. I bought one last friday and am glad I did. It is a great firewood/ bucking saw. Mine is set up with a 25" bar and full comp chain for softwoods and you can bury the whole bar no problem.
460
i have a 280 and a 460. my local shop sold the 460 for about 70 bucks more than the 361 then i was looking at them 18 months ago. a little heavier, but i have run up to a 36" bar cutting cottonwood. i do not climb, and am only about 165 lbs, but the weight doesnt seem to be a big issue for me.
