Saw purchase help

I love mine. One thing: just get in the habit of pushing the momentary kill switch down before you start it. (After it's warm) Occasionally my 562's don't want to start after they've been running for awhile and pushing that kill switch down and letting it come back up into the run position seems to reset something. Then they'll start every time. I run 28" lightweight bars on mine with skip tooth chisel bit chain, I often cut oak that is larger diameter than the bar length with no problem. These little fuel injected saws are like sprint cars.
 
So my partner is looking to kick in a anew saw. ( I've put in a lot of work for gear and saw deals so he wants to contribute too) we split everything ekse, but ge knows I've done a lot in my own too.
Anyways he wants to buy either a 660, or a 395XP. I don't know if we need that much right now. We want to be able to use a 36" bar, maybe bigger, buy but do we have to go that big of a saw to get that? My old 460mag, took a 32" fine. I read on another post about other Huskys and Stihls that may be in between. If hrs got the money to spend, what not save done on the saw. And use rest for gear, or save it.
Lastly, if hes set on one of those 2, which is best bet. The husky is a couple hundred more, and heavier, yet only a hair more HP, and I was told, no auto oiler. Thanks for thoughts, I'll pass them on. He hates getting on a computer so I'll never get him an account on here. Lol
Go with a 441 c with a Black Cat performance kit ...run up to a 32" bar with great fuel mileage for the performance
