Those saws are much heavier than the Pro designed saws. A Stihl MS261 Pro saw (50cc) would have cost about the same as the Husky 460, but at least 2 lbs lighter, The 261 does not have the cc's of the 460 (60cc), but more hp. The Stihl MS261 is 4 hp vs 3.6 hp for the Husky 460. I have owned a few of both and the MS261 is very nibble an handles well. I still like the older non-epa 026/MS260 better, my opinion.I finally got to test the Husky Rancher 460 this weekend cutting some red oak trees for firewood. I have to say, that thing is a beast. Cut everything I asked of it and more. I'm definitely buying an 18" bar to complement the 24". After 4 hours cutting, I was wore out! Gotta think it'll be lighter and easier to handle with the 18"... At least fire firewood duty
