I can't speak to the 290, but I have a new 270 and it is fantastic. I have cut some 14" red oak and heart pine with it, and it blasts right through. I have some RSC and RMC chain - haven't tried the RMC yet.
The quick-chain adjust looks like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It replaces one easy to use tool with a complicated part that just seems like a bad idea. I think removing the bar cover periodically to flip the bar and clean things up is mandatory, and the QCA seems to discourage this as well.
