Ain't no guru of nuthin'
Max rpm - plenty
Rev boost - it's just a recalibration of the flux capacitor
Increase max rpm - no I don't think so, I believe it's a timing adjustment when the saw is accelerating - but there isn't a definite answer on what it actually does.

We really do mate, the oe346 and the 562 are like the red headed step children now.
The Jonsered PeakPulse or Husqvarna RevBoost is a revelation for those experienced it. It's very contagious, since it will benefit your work with a saw substantially.
It's not all about rpm alone, it's more about response and torque. The technology behind is crank stuffers, ignition curve adaption, and also CarbControl/AutoTune in the latest model generation.

That'll work just fine. The most important thing is to make sure you have a sharp chain.

Good saw & yes it'll pull a 18 or 20" 3/8" just fine. Likely will cut faster than a 550xp, but only in larger wood.
555 would be a better 1 saw plan if you dont have a 2 3 4 5 6 saw plan. 
I've seen 555's in the 550's price range. Heck some cheaper.

Okay nice to know, I am also looking at dolmar because I have a nearby dolmar dealer, I know it was mentioned earlier in the thread that the dollars have a tendency of scoring pistons but, from what I have read they do just fine if tuned rich and run on 40.1 mix. I can get the dolmar at less than 545 money. It seems to be almost the equivalent of the 550xp but weights about a pound more. Seems like it would have more power than a 545 and 550 power with more weight? Auto tune is nice but a good price is hard to ignore.
I'm just looking at all the options for saws that I have.

Dolmar 5101 is a good saw, but it is not only heavier but also larger than the 545/550.
Nate is having a sell to compare some prices.

Yeah, some good prices there and Dolmar makes good saws!
That echo 490 shows 50.2cc, hmmmm That is smoking deal.
Those are good prices, and very hard to ignore
But I have decided I would really like a warrantee of a new saw as a safety measure, probably won't need it but it is there.

Yeah I wouldn't put more than an 18" on a 50cc, I'd like whatever saw I'm getting to pull an 18" buried in oak or the hard maple we have around here. Not a lot of softwood around here.

Power to weight ratio, as mentioned by the OP, is usually not a stand out feature on an Echo.

10.6 on a 500p according to specs. (sheet) Im not sure but I think you could buy a 590 timber wolf for less than a 500p. Somewhere in the low $4 range.
