Dolmar advertises the PS420 at 10.5 lbs. It is amazingly light and a gutsy performer for it's size.

I like Echo saws myself but a 600P would be about the same as your 361. I don't like swinging that one around limbing either, but that new 500P might be worth it for you. I love my 530 which the 500P replaced, but if I didn't, the 500P would be mine by now.

 The Echo CS500 should wiegh about 15# ready to cut vs 17# plus with the MS361, doesn't seem like a lot but does make a lot of difference. Not priced to bad either at $450 at a dealer and I think Echo has a $30 rebate right now. I'd still get the 13# ready to cut CS400 that cuts way better than 40cc's     Steve
