How do they compare, all things equal, all are fresh with 20" .325 bars.

I only hefted a 028 once, I can't imagine it is much lighter than the 290.
The 026 is the all around winner in this group.
I do not like running the .325 bars on the 290. I much prefer the "real" 3/8 bars and chains on that one. A 20 inch on the 290 is pushing it, but I use it on mine a lot. I have 16/18/20 inch 3/8 bars for it that I can swap with the 361.
I am not very familiar with the 028/280. Seems like more metal in that saw, semi-pro, semi-homeowner. As for that and the 260, a 20 inch bar is probably too long for them. I have .325 16/18 inch bars for the 025/026. Of thes two bars, the 16 inch gets used on both the most.

I run a .325 16 in. bar on my 260, definitely wouldn't run anything longer on it.
Of all the saws listed , I'd go for the 260. It's light , nimble, and as powerful as a limbing saw needs to be.
And has a unbeatable reputation.
