Hey windthrown, that .325 chain and bar really sucks ass, we changed our 250 from it aswell to the 3/8 picco. You know I have never heard anything good about that .325, maybe Stihl are intending it to be a consumer chain and bar?

A .325 Narrow kerf setup probably would be best on both those saws - problem is that Stihl doesn't offer it...
