My 290 is down for a few days for some repair, and the guy I get my log lengths from let me borrow his 460/20" bar for the weekend. I bought a new chain and got to work. After 5 minutes I was actully laughing out loud at how much it makes the 290 look stupid. I plowed through the medium logs (10-14") like they were toothpicks, and a couple of big 40" and larger monsters were no match whatsoever. I was so unused to the power that I kept getting pulled forward when the saw started into the cut.
It is insane - I had no idea what a real saw felt like. There is no way I'm going to be able to go back to the 290 now.
MS 460, best saw made to date IMO! I've owned the bigger Stihls and must say the 460 is top notch.
