The 395 is spring av so it's smoother and will edge out the 660 on power stock.

I don't plan on getting this new saw ported until summer as I will need it to cut firewood. Something about the 390xp just doesn't interest me

I like the 660 with a longer bar but have not run one of the equal size Huskies to compare it with. What "other" saws do you have? Commonality of bar mounts maybe should be a factor. Buy used, buy one of each, and sell what you don't like.
You're not the first porter/builder I have heard/seen say that but didnt want to tout it as a fact.

Borrow your dad's 460?

I noticed the 660 is smaller than the 395 in bulkiness

I have a 395, and ran a 660 for a few years. They are both excellent powerful and smooth saws. I prefer huskies, but the 660 is just an awesome saw. And if i were to buy one brand new off the shelf, i really would go fkn crazy trying to pick which one............

It ain't his till I see some cash, he is bad to take forever to pay if I go ahead and give him something first
It is smaller by a little. I like them both and have a 660 and 9010 right now in the 90cc class. The 660 handles better than a 395 by a little bit.

I tried the 660 and 395. I now have three 390XPs if that says anything. The 395 is a strong saw, but it's also a brick.

I noticed at another dealer as he had a 390 with 32" bar and it was lighter than I thought it would be.

The 395 is a bit heavier and not as nimble as the 390 and 660, but has noticeably more torque stock to stock. All 3 are great saws and you would be happy with any of them.

But how do they compare to that lovely 2188 you have lol?
The 2188 seems a little torquier and the 390 makes more RPMs. Remember, the 2188 is bored over and running a thin ring 2100 piston. It has the same displacement as a 395. There's only 1mm difference in the bore between a 390 and a 395.

MS 660 is the perfect saw.
