If your paying for a pro saw you should get pro saw performance IMO.

The 400.1 appears to be a step in the right direction. The 400C is still a damn good saw and 362 is a turd like its always been.

Price isn't bad. Might have to spring for one.

Any listing for a full wrap version?

I agree. Its a better mouse trap, albeit one with some teething problems like any new technology.

Kinda where I am at on this subject. My time is to precious to waste it on ebay junk and chi com saws. And this isn't me being critical. I just lack the time and patience.

People also said the cans need to vent inside a store...

You think that's bad. The horse nuts have made it so the BLM can't reduce feral horse herds on public land all over the west. And the damn things are pretty destructive.

Another piece of this is OBD2 came about because CARB forced the OEM's to use a standardized system accross all brands. Prior to that each OEM had their own. The EPA/CARB could do the same with OPE eventually.

Im suprised some EE student from the far east hasn't made one yet.

I think alotnof the problems associated with both the 550xp mk1 and 562 mk1 were related to not being tolerant of heat and not using enough oil.

I would think this will eventually happen.

That's interesting. The only thing I heard of them is that they were problematic reliability wise. With that said I had a very early 562xp that was likewise labeled problematic and it lasted and performed well for a long time in the cool climate I lived in. I also always ran it at 32:1 or...

No idea, never owned one.

I own a 550mk2 and wouldn't describe it as svelt.
