[QUOTE="lambs, post: 3378339, member: 32523"] You might want to consider looking for a Stihl 039 / 390 in the area. Same saw as the 290, same weight, but bigger engine (64 cc I think) and therefore more power. I bought mine for $250 gently used. I now have a 261 as well, which is a nicer pro saw, lighter and similar in hp to the 290, but the 039 is nothing to sneeze at. It's probably a half horse more power. Good value for the money without a weight gain over the 290 you're considering. [/QUOTE]
