I ordered a 550xp today.....after reading this whole thread Im kinda having second thoughts about it. It doesn't sound like the 550 is that much of an improvement over a 346,, and sounds like they might be having a few issues with them as well.  I guess Ill know for myself in a few days  ;D.

Honestly I don't know, Mines coming from the north east coast   ;D.   I doubt my dealer even knows what a 550xp is, and Im sure he won't carry them.  They don't carry any pro saws less than 70cc  ::). They say they can't sell them.  If I wen't in and asked about a ms261, they'd try to sell me a ms 290 lol.

They cost the same as the 346xp here, and the (more or less standard) discounts are the same as well - no change.

the 562,560,555 use zama C1M-EL44.
the 550 use walbro AT-1.
the 545 use walbro AT-1.

it's the software & ignition that changes from model to model along with carburetors.

What does the 550 weigh PHO? That is the only way to compare apples to apples. Bars and chains just introduce variables that make comparisons meaningless.
