I’d like to get your input and reasoning behind it if possible

I’ve gotten the itch again to port an existing saw or buy and port a new one

Here’s what’s in my stable
-372xp ported
-MS 461
-MS 400
-McCullough pro max 10-10
-Pioneer p40

I do a lot of land clearing and falling

Im leaning towards porting the MS 461 or buying and porting 390 or 395xp

Why do you think ?
 
The gains are minimal on the mcculloch and pioneer. I have a 461 that I have been back and forth on porting. That's a saw I will still have in 40 years. I'm giving my future self the option down the road what to do. I need to buy a a p&c, bearings and seals for my future self as well while I'm thinking about it. If I had a 400 laying around, I would port that. See what a mag piston can do.
