Interesting.I'm guessing if you get the 271 it would be your new favorite saw with it being lighter than the 290 and the AV being more user friendly. My local Ace hardware/stihl dealer (not the dealer I buy my saws from because he won't deal on prices) swears that going to the whatever stihl has them go to to says that the 271 out ran the 290 in timed cuts both saws got 5 cuts each and the 271 had 3 cuts that out ran the 290s best time. This is what he said and I believe him because he is a good honest guy.
