Just wondering...does anyone have any comments or experience with the MS 362 and MS 362 C - Q? I wanted to purchase one or the other this Christmas and
wanted to know if there were any reviews or comments out there? Any pro's or Con's ? Any help would be appreciated.

the cq is a quick stop if your going to use it for mostly limbing this would be the one you want....If its you main battle tank heavy bruiser than the reg. 362 is the way to go....More style of cutting would pay a part in this aswell, if your very aggressive and move fast the cq could save you as well.
It easy enough to get over a quick stop chainsaw you just lift (throttle) at the end of a cut and your chain will be stop before you move to the next.

The 361 spin a lot after a cut, so I would say the quick stop was added for those who dont like that.

LOL THEY really dont. Never seen a saw that wants to keep spinning as much as a 361. Easy to over come though!
sure the 362 going to be just like it.
