Why would you want 3/8 instead of .325 on a 550?

Thank you, but what is the difference between the PowerCut 72EXL and the PowerCut 72LPX, that is my question.

I fail to see the difference.
The most important difference for you is that LPX has bumped drive links (letter P) designed to reduce kickback. EXL has no such links.

Correct, 72LGX has been replaced by 72EXL but there was some 72LGX in some vendors inventory last i checked. Another question would be what is the difference between 72EXL and 72LGX? I always had good luck with the LGX.
 
If you search for, and download a copy of the ’Oregon Maintenance and Safety Manual’, you will find a great deal of technical information on Oregon chains, bars, sprockets, etc., along with a lot of good information that applies to any brand of these.
