Andy weight of PHO of a MS880 is 22.3LBS flush handle, 084 same PHO 20.7LBS, 088 same PHO 21.8LBS.
I was comparing the MS880 and 084, yes I have lifted and ran both. and could feel the weight difference from the get go. I know after running either for any amount of time the extra weight of the 880 wouldn't matter anyways, but there is a notable bulk of the 880 sitting beside the 084, the 084 seems more streamed lined. I wouldn't kick any of them out of the garage though.
084 20.7LBS 8.6bhp
088 21.8LBS 8.7bhp
MS880 22.3lbs 8.6bhp
The HP % I threw out was just to get Brad reved up
Be careful with your weights.. The 880 didn't gain 0.5lb over 088 with the change of the fuel caps... Put all three saws on a scale with or without fluids...
The real difference in the 088/084 is the increased max torgue of the 088 . Original comparison data is in the pdf a few posts back
