Thanx everyone for the input. I ended up buying a husqvarna 550xp. I love it. Considerably more power than the 026 and so smooth. Now I will put the old girl into semi retirement as a back up saw
A hardware store out of state has said that they will sell me just the 550XP head (I have an extra 20" bar and chain for it) for $500 shipped, no sales tax. I guess that's not bad but I'm still looking for a better deal.
Well I ended up getting a 562XP instead. I've read a lot of good reviews on it and many say it's the most powerful stock 60cc saw they've run. I have 12 months to spread out the payments on it interest free so I pulled the trigger as they say...
