Stihl 661

Does anyone have any info on the release of the Stihl 661?

I know the 461 is available now, nothing on the 661 in my searching.

I was looking at the stihl website a couple of weeks ago saw the 661 on their now you go there and it's not there. I looked at a 461 the other day they look like the non pro saws now, the place out west a couple of us get saws from says the modified one and aren't happy with it's performance. My dealer friend says the only thing they changed on 461 is the intake air ports I think is what he said. I've been looking for a couple leftover 460 saws but nobody locally has any. I got my 460 modified 4 years ago it cuts like a stock 660 but weighs a few pounds less, I love the saw they always quit making stuff that works good.

there is alot more different than just the intake port and I will take a ported 461 over a ported 460 any day , 461 makes way more torque
