[QUOTE="procarbine2k1, post: 4771442, member: 40358"] Pick up the 029 Super, as well as the MS290. Sell the MS290, and make a quick buck (the 290 has as good, if not better resale than any other Stihl made in the last few years, given their original price). And for you guys saying that the MS290 and 029 Super are the same, they are not. Very close? Yes indeed. The casting quality is a little nicer on the 029 Super, and the port timing is slightly different. IMO, they run a little better. Saw Dr. did an EXCELLENT write up on the differences a few years ago. I love "pro" saws as much as the next guy on here... But I don't understand all the outside recommendations for other saws. Are their better? Yep, but I definitely wouldn't dismiss what is on the guys plate, especially in the hands of a capable user. [/QUOTE]
