    Morning Ben! I’m in the same situation with saws. I have the MS 290 with a 20inch bar and love it. It’s on the heavy side after running it a while. I would really like to get a 261 and then have the 290 beefed up to run a 25 inch bar but I don’t think there enough beef in it!🤣 I think the perfect pair of saws it what you now have. The 461 and a 261!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
