I don't have much experience with saws, but I bought a used 441 non m-tronic from a member here and I like it. I only have a McCulloch 650 and Stihl 251 c-be to compare to, though. The 441 weighs about the same as the 650 yet is much more powerful.
I recently switched to an 8 pin with a 20" bar and full chisel now that I've gotten decent at hand filing, and it seems to cut great. I also run a 7 pin with a 25" bar for my homemade Alaskan sawmill I built a few weeks ago. It's about all the saw wants to handle, but works well enough for me. Great on gas compared to the 650.

I'd love to find an m-tronic to compare to, but I fear I'll just want it permanently.

I've also run friends' 075 and 084. While they're beasts compared to the 441, I'll gladly keep what I have. There's not enough big trees where I'm at in Indiana to justify those huge saws (even for milling) as I'd lose the dual purpose role of the 441. I can fell a tree and limb and buck it without feeling like I'm carrying a 50 pound bag of feed around.

How 'bout some of those sawmill pics, doc? (sorry, too much Looney Tunes)

You don't need back pressure with a muffler like this, unlike a tuned pipe.

This is a standard 441. It does have the carburetor.

Is it a stratospheric engine and what's the best mm for this model?

Ok. Got the saw. Looks really nice. Came with a new 18 in. e bar, a pretty nice 20 es that you can see in the pics and a slightly warped 28 es. The nose is bent a little on the 28. Those can be replaced but I'm not sure where to take it. Stihl dealer?
Any tips on how to straighten it?

Also. Still not sure about doing a mm on a non mtronic 441. Anything different about the mufflers?

I prefer an ax over a 441.............

I turned the oiler up, got it razor sharp, filed the rakers and went to town. That is one smooth running saw. It tried to bog one time, in a crotch. Otherwise it was money. 20in bar, yellow chain. Very happy. Thanks, y'all!

From this day on I will say what's on my mind if you don't get it to bad . For the most part people only hear what they want hear or read, after that you need to be alert like when Moses built the ark.
