Yes, they are lighter than a 460.  The cool thing as that the 460 topend can be fitted to the 440.  Here's mine.

Fitted as in how the 066 is being put on the 064 cases?

I think the 372 had the edge power wise. The biggest thing I don't like about them in the oiler is pretty stingy on longer bars. Other than that they're a fine saw. I've had 4 of them. One 10mm 044 and it was the stronger runner than the 440. Two of them were new never fueled that I sold without running them.

Unless they get rid of the 441, I don't see the point on my end, selling them to customers. Most guys here run 24" bars on 70cc saws and if they want a smooth saw, they buy the 441, if they want raw power buy a 460. Most guys who loved the 044/440 who hate the 441 have stepped up and bought 460's at this point. For us the 441 sells just as well as the 440, but that being said I'll be ordering as many 440's as we can afford to stock. And I'll be putting a few away for "a rainy day" to sell a few years down the road.

The owner of the 441 whose bucket truck is in my back drive bought a 460 originally to replace a stolen 440 .He bought it at first because the 440 was no longer available .He later did buy the 441 and as I said is very pleased with it .At the time it was about 100 over the price of a 441.

I ran it and really it doesn't do bad at all .It won't up gun my 038 Mag but neither would his 440 .No matter it still is a fine saw . The 441 is a smooth runner I'll have to say that .Ha Ha Ha it's  just I'm not used to running quiet saws .
