Try to evaluate how strong just the outer layer of the powerbox will be...the individual walls seem pretty thin.
As logging22 indirectly points out, any saw that's larger than 70cc is going to be used by a true professional (either tree service or logger) 98% of the time (or whatever the real statistic is), and when you take your saws into the woods with you to make a living, you really don't care about keeping it free of little scratches. They're going to get beat up one way or another.
Alas, for the rest of us...
i went ahead and trimmed the case i had to fit the 385xp. Turned out pretty good.
