This brings up another cost factor. The 500i needs a better air filter and suspension(depending on bar length) right out of the box.

I believe a ported 500i would win in that class of saws. I went with a ported 462.

The 400 is the hot rod now. Once I heard about the 400.1 coming out, I crossed it out as a choice. I’d go with a ported 261, they are impressive for the size compared to a 361.

Yeah, not looking to pay those prices..

Looking for a 28” es light, .050 or .063

I might be interested in one of the 28”

That is too nice of a saw to run imo. With a hybrid in the stable, I'd sell it.

Looking for a clean gen 2 462 with a standard carb. No mtron saws.. Found one

Looking for a screw saw at this time, tempting though.

The V2's have the new style cases/p&c. An arctic model would be different but not needed here.

Dupe, please delete

When I had a 211 it was built on the same chassis as the 171 and 181. All weighed the same but the 211 made the most power. If this is being paired with a 362, I’d go for a 151 or 201 rear handle. I’ve have/had several of the older 200 rear handle saws, they rip with the spark screen removed...

Mod the oiler..

I’ve used a velocity stack/green weenie on ported 026/260 saws before, looks terrible but work great. The stock filter setups leave a lot on the table for flow.

I believe that is fair for a new 461, I've seen some clean used ones in my area for around $900. $1200 is in line with a new 462, it's only advantage is less vibes and a warranty(mtronic is not one imo). I do miss my ported 461, it was the best power to weight work saw I've ran so far. Still...
