There's no such thing as a "home owner type" Stihl. So yes, go for the
Stihl saw that meets your budget and needs. Always use the Stihl oil in
the fuel AND on the bar and you won't be disappointed.

Bzzt. Wrong.

Stihl MS290 - retail $349
Stihl MS260 - retail $509

If there weren't different grades of saws, why is the SMALLER saw more
expensive by a long shot?

Yes you are right. Four distinct "grades", then 2 "other" kinds.
