Fantastic!
Frankly, in 20", I just like the E bars, light and I have never had a problem with them. If they made the E in 24", I would want one!
I like the 28" light, but they cost.

As far as I know, they do make the E in 24/5", it likely is just a matter of where they sell them. My brother bought one a couple of years ago.

The 029s (non-Supers) have these engine specs:
Displacement: 54.1 cm3 (3.3 cu.in)
Bore: 45 mm (1.77 in)
Stroke: 34 mm (1.34 in)
Power output: 2.70 kW (3.7 bhp)
Max. RPM: 13,000
The 029 Super and the MS290 are the same, with a different engine than the 029:
Displacement: 56.5 cm3
Bore: 46 mm
Stroke: 34 mm
Engine power 3.0 kW (4.1 bhp), (3.8 bhp with the later 290 choked up USA muffler) at 9,500 rpm
Max. RPM 12,500
Slightly larger displacement and more power in the 029 Super/290 at lower revs, and if you open up the later 290 USA muffler to the earlier 029/Euro design they come alive. I opened up the 029 mufflers more and it did not do as much. You can push the 290s to 13k w/o going over the actual design red-line limit. I much prefer the 310 with a lot less vibration than either the 029/290 or the 039/390 saws though.

For those of you south of the 49th that would be about $670 in real dollars. Almost makes shopping north of the border more affordable for you.
Nows the time to order those heated handle saws that you always wanted...

Road trip...
Can't believe they changed the saw so much and still used the exact same designation, not even a different letter after the saw! There is going to be a lot of "parts confusion" in the future.
So Mark, are the E bars in 24/25" something new? I have never seen them.

So this is the 462 everyone had pictures of ?? 
I hope this saw isn't going to be a nightmare to work on..
Good question Brian, but with the substantial changes to these two saws, I can not imagine a new 70 cc saw is not in the works.
I would love to see a 6+ Hp saw under 14 lbs.

Today's exchange rate is $0.72 USD to the CDN dollar. So $889 CDN is $640.08 USD, plus VAT. Supposedly there is no VAT/sales tax on exported items sold in Canada?
There is no sales tax here in Oregon, and the retail price on the current 261c-M at my local shop is $610 out the door with a 16" B&C.
