I'm surprised BG you didn't give the nod to the 357. I do suppose that would be my choice with an 18" bar. I have a proclivity to my 257 as well. Haven't met anything that would not cut either. I have/had all of the saws in your present arsenal with the exception of the 562. The 346 is a handy dandy saw but I have half of my stuff between 18 and 24" and is why I give the nod to the 57's.
The 357xp would do fine! I have used mine a lot and really like it! But the 346xp is just special to me, guess I have spent too many hours using my old one and it just gets it done in a small, light, explosive, little package. I actually have a newer 346xp just because I like the one so much.
The 357xp would have been my second choice if I'd never ran a 562xp. The 562 is just the most impressive stock saw I've ever run. More power, super smooth, uses less fuel and no heavier than the 357.
I have no need or want for 70cc+ saws. I enjoy running high performance small saws!
