I finally got around to running it last weekend and here are my thoughts..
1. Seemed very lackluster for the first tank. Was not impressed. Realized it was running a hair too rich.
2. By the end of the second tank it stated to really wake up. Tweaked the carb a little more.
3. Whoa! Third tank was love.
4. While I've always leaned a little towards the stihl side and really like the ergonomics of my 026, I'm now to the point that i think the 026 might get sent down the road. This is a fun saw.

Lastly, I don't know how the sizes of the tanks compare but if they are close to equal, this thing seems to sip fuel. I'll be spending a little more time with it to see if I still feel this way but I'm very happy with the outcome.

Takes some saws over five tanks to come alive the stihl 261 echos 490 590 come to mind then they settle in.
