I picked the 7900 over the 390xp... Yes, it was a tough decision... But I am now a Dolmar lover... Enough so, that this year, I will buy another... Just out of the box SPEED!!!

Indeed. I have limited experiance with 79ers and zero with the 390, but I'd hazard a guess that it would depend on how hard you work a saw. The Dolmars weight would be a big advantage to a lighter user such as myself, whereas I'd imagine the XP's advantage would show up in long-term durability for a severe use application.

Oh....if I HAD to choose, it would be a 7900. Incredible bang for the buck and all that jazz...

Yeah, gotta' say that if Stihl had made a 440 with a 80cc topend and spring av, it'd be hailed as the second coming...

but but it has a 66 top. might as well get the 66 plate
Thats a gorgeous 064. They are light too for their power IMO. I bet she runs like a scaled dog with that 066 top end........:msp_thumbup:

Maybe someday you'll be able to jump the border to Canada and buy one for $1200!

If you were wanting something in the 60cc range I would get a ms361 if you can find one. If you are wanting a little more power in the 70cc range get a 372xp. In my opinion the 372 is one of the best ever made.

LOL, almost fell off the planet... Honestly, just been busy with work, kids, wife, and I've been working to complete my Master's Degree. Not much time to tinker anymore.
Glad to be back on here!

That's the best I could do off a cell phone. If some one can fix it that would be great.
