I have two Stihl saws with the 26RSC and it does real well.
I'm thinking the same too, would stretch less with the heavier drivers.
I believe the Stihl .325 like their 3/8 is .063 between the cutters on top of the drive link so evening up the drive link is a good thing. I like the Stihl's LG style depth gauge , never linked Oregons clunky LP link
