Congratulations on your purchase! I also like the MS361 best with an 18" bar, so I think you made a good choice. The RSC chain is much better than RSC3 so you got lucky (some Stihl dealers around here won't let a saw go out the door without "safety" chain **, which cuts like dogpoo if you need to do any ripping)
If you need a bigger bar than 18", it might be time to make your second saw purchase!
(and then you will get into the 372XP/385XP/390XP/PS7900/MS441/MS460 debate).
Don't worry, we'll be here to help you decide on the next one too!

** Dont rely on chain to keep you safe - rely on making GOOD DECISIONS and using SAFE PRACTICES!
