Back in the day Stihl 038 was a great summer saw and the Husqvarna 266 / Jonsered 630 were great winter saws. The solid carb mount to the cylinder on the Husky and Jonsereds kept the carb from freezing up in winter, but would vapor lock in the summer. The rubber intake manifold on the Stihl...

When you compare the 67cc Super and the 72cc Magnum you'll notice the wider fuel tank and sprocket cover on the Magnum bulks it up pretty good . But you need that bigger tank for those extra 5 cc.
