Yeah I have a similar split for me usual two saws except MS361 and MS260, with an 044 'slant fin/10mm pin/red lever' (whatever you want to call it) as the big one I have hanging around at the mo. The 361 was brand new German assembled when I got it, nice saw and only really just starting to work at full go now (taken a while to break in). The 260 is ex a yard contractor and used hard on everything including palm and punga, very hard on saws those palm fibres. Done a lot of work and a little chewed out around the clutch area on the crankcase, but cannot fault how it runs! Only thing I don't like on it is the non-adjustable oil pump driven directly off the crankshaft. I've got my eye out for a non-running 026 Pro or 260C with the adjustable pump kit in it... The 044 is the granddaddy of the bunch, rode hard put away wet looking saw but mint where it matters and runs like a beast. I was thinking about tidying it up, but it runs so well I'm really hesitant to touch it.
