Echo CS-490 or CS-4910 or ?

That's incorrect. The 4910 is the homeowner version of the 501p.

Not sure about that... The 501 replaced the 4910. The 4920 is a 4910 gutted. There are a few very small improvements to the 4910, air filtration maybe but the important features have been carried over to the 501. The 10s when you can find them new or near new are selling like hotcakes.
I had mine ported, mmod and it is a pocket battleship w a Banshee app.
Just creturned from NC and it was impressive.
The 4910 is NOT a homeowner quality saw.

I think the 4910 replaced the 490 IMO.

501 is the upgraded version of 4910. Like 620 compared to 590.

But 501 and 4910 have same p+c

Local dealer still has 5 4910 for 280 apiece.
