Way too much good advise from so many to reply to individually so thanks again to all and to sum things up;
All the makes offer cheap/consumer throwaway models and decent professional use/forestry models.
Starting with Stihl, lots of economy saws that sell for way less than a comparable size saw sold for 20+ years ago.
Not hard to figure you are not getting the same quality for half the money 20 years later.
Pro series saws are available but as would be expected they are twice the money they were 20 years ago.
From what I have been told;
Husqvarna, Jonsered, Poulan and a few others are all owned by the same.
The homeowner /economy Husqvarna's and Jonsered's are made in the Poulan factory.
The Pro/Forestry Husquvarna's and Jonsered's are both the same saw with slightly different plastic, grips and color, and made at the same plant in Sweden.
So after comparing apples to apples the Husky and Jonsered Pro saws are the same and are priced lower than the comparable Stihl pro series.
I am sure someone out there knows more about this than I do but based off what I learned spending a day in town I decided the Jonsered 2166 (sister to the Husky 365) was the way to go.
For comparison my 038 is 67 cc and the Jonsered is 70.7 cc both 20 inch bars so should be similar power.
Only problem I have so far is my wife wont let me start it until my birthday on Monday.
Just as well I made another 100+ round bales of straw this afternoon and will be busy hauling.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
