You may have discovered something. There appears to be no 91pxl pdf file at Oregon.
http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/products/chain/lowkick_chain_main.htm this is as close as I found.

px is champher chisel as is vx, vxl is semi chisel wonder what pxl is. Get some and test. If I had a low power saw and just charge off a loop to a particular job the shorter cutter champher chisel would be my choice. At least of the Oregon choices I have used in 3/8lp 0.050.

As far as I know there is no pxl, just px with the short chamfer chisel cutters. The real issue here is that they discontinued the very well performing chamfer chisel vx (originally vs, before the "x" chain thingy), in favor of the ordinary semi-chisel vxl - they really should have offered both options, as the vxl isn't performing well on all saw/sprocket/bar combinations.

Regardless of that, another real issue with Oregon 3/8" lo-pro chain is that there is no (full) chisel option, that can compete with the 63PS.

I found a pdf file about it on Bailey's site

It is only $30 less expensive than Stihl PM3 for a roll.

Like I wrote upthread, those look to be 91VXL cutters with the ramped drive link from 91PX. It's got the same "33% longer than standard 91 cutters" claim as VXL. It is advertised as low kickback where the 91VXL is not.

So then one would assume it would cut similarily but a bit slower than VXL?

I have never found the ramped drive links to be any problem at all on 91PX, so I would not hesitate to use it.
