The saws in question are so close in cutting speed, it really depends more on the operator than the saw. Any of the models you are looking at, properly maintained, will give good service for years.
That being said, buy the saw that feels the best in your hands and has sufficient dealer support in your area.
I've sold all new comers and kept the 5100s. Just cause my hands like it.
