I out cut the 391 in a 12" Spruce. I might have had an advantage as I was running a full chisel skip tooth chain, while the 391 was wearing a rounded corner chain (a chipper?). The 391 was about 3/4 the way thru when the 290 finished. :)
 
Definitely chain and/or tune. I could see the smaller saw winning in under 6" wood due to higher revs.

In 12" wood my 2186 will smoke my 550, which is arguably one of the best "small wood" saws out there.
