echo *CS-390ESX experience

[geoff]

Well I suppose you all know I'm an echo fan, looking at buying the *CS-390ESX, as the power to weight looks good with magnesium alloy casings.

 

Have any of you used or owned this saw?

 

I would like to get a heads up on it before I buy, on paper it looks very good.

 

Thanks.

Should have made it clear,I'm looking at it as an alternative to the echo cs450, being lighter and yet similar power rating, albeit 38cc as against 45cc, so I asume lighter and more revs to develop the power.

 

Hence the question.

Have you got a 450 to try? If not, you can borrow mine for a bit if you want to.

Hello mate,yes I have used one a fair bit,but still have my xp346, the smaller echo fills a gap in my saws.

 

Good morning to you and L, too mate.

She said 'same to you'. Don't forget, if you ever want to sell that 346 I want first refusal.

It does look rather nice, it's going to be a beautifuly made saw,just interested in how it feels before lust turns into owning it.

That's a keeper mate, one of the best saws made I'm.

Could be that no one here has used one,I will give it a while to see what comes up here,but I can feel the need to buy and try, sure I will like it.
