So, is the Stihl more better, or the Husqvarna? Page 11 and I still don't know.

I've got a bunch of both brands and the only saw I have that I think is heavy every time I pick one up is a 390 so much so that I will use a 394 or 395 over it every time. It's supposed to b so much lighter but it feels heavy and clumsy to me. I'm sure it's lighter than the 394 I always use but according to my hands it ain't much lighter, 390 does cut good once ported but not like a 394/5. A 80 cc saw is kinda useless to me, if u have a 372 and a 394/5 or 660 I don't see the need to fill the gap

Are you implying that a 87.9cc 390xp is an 80cc saw? And a 91.6cc 660 is comparable to a 394/5? This whole thread is confusing, starting all the way back at page one.

88cc 390 92cc 660 94cc 394/5 I don't care the point in a 88cc saw although I do have 2 390's but I never use them. I've never bn cutting and thought to myself, boy my 660 or 394 is heavy I better grab my ever so slightly lighter 390, no i grab a 372 or simply down and take a break.

If I had a 394 that ran like yours did I probably wouldn't use a 390 or 660 either

I think I remember seeing an old stihl of yours that was mighty sporty.

My favorite saw I own now is a jred 2095turbo. So
I doubt I'd use a 390.

For me, anytime in get over 70cc the saws weight becomes noticable.
The exception is a Dolmar 7900 I had, although Dolmar is a joke for a production saw.

Just not used widely amongst pros.

 

[MustangMike]

Keith, I have only run them at GTGs, and never a ported one, but they weight about what a 460/461 does, with more ccs. I hear they can be very strong ported, resulting in a VG Hp/Wt ratio. Also hear small case capacity for the ccs, and carbs need to be upgraded to get full benefit from porting.
