Looking for another saw, mid size. I use a Husqvarna 235 and 550xp for limbing and a 395xp with a performance tune for the big stuff. Was looking for a 372xp to put my 24" tsumari bar on and run a 28" or 32" on my 395xp. Can't find a 372xp or 365 at local dealers

The 372xp with a 24" bar is a very nice combo, you can bury the bar and the saw won't slow down, not too heavy and it's well balanced.  I have two set up exactly that way.

The new 372s are gone for good. Replaced by the 572. Dealer here bought a bunch and when there gone there gone. So between 576 and 572 I'd go 572. Might as well get the latest and greatest. And I can't see why they'd even keep the 576. But we'll see. I've bought a half dozen 372xp's in the last few months. I intend to rebuild as long as I can.

For a new saw? Really a no brainer. 572. Too many reasons to put in this post. Start with they have a stronger case/crank/bearing arrangement than any of the 372 variants and the 576 as well. Add to that, the 372 and 576 are at the end of their rope.... Price difference isn't enough to matter when compared to the significant advances the 572 has over pretty much any of the Husqvarna Autotunes and under 75cc saws.
