Light is good. Making a fast cut is good. The 360 Stihl (got a new bar and chain on the way home from picking it up) weight is the heaviest I have used but I like it for making long logs short. It has such a large gas/oil tanks have often have my sawing at the time completed when I need fuel.
It sounds like the 261 would be a great all around saw. I want the safety chain for sure and did pay the price for a set of Stihl Kevlar chaps so to try and prevent from bleeding to death alone. Actually I have stopped using the chainsaw alone in the field.
