Ok now to complicate things and back to Stihl...I am now considering getting the Stihl MS250 which has a bigger 45.4cc engine and an 18-inch bar for 30 bucks more at $299.95 What do you think about this saw compared to the other two? I don't own a Stihl chainsaw (maybe some day) but I always read very good reviews about this saw on the various OPE forums I frequent. For $30.00 you'd be crazy not to go for it and remove any possibility of buyers remorse down the road, you know the drill - "I should have got the bigger one when I had the chance!"....

I bought the Stihl MS250 3 years ago, after extensive research. I'm stihl (haha) very pleased with it. I just used it to clear many downed branches after this October snow. I use it mainly to make about 2 or 3 cords of firewood per winter.
That's a good price -- I paid $329 for mine 3 years ago
