Well I think the 390XP is a good saw as I have had no problems with mine save a screw came out on the exhaust bracket , no biggie . I bought it to replace my stolen 385XP . The rule of thumb is big power head short bar = fast cut . That does not mean you need 100cc on a 13" bar ! A 390 will run a 28" bar nio probs . But if you don't need to cut that bigger timber then you don't need that bigger saw . Remember the bigger the power head the more it will weigh . You got to lug it all day . You should be able to cut diameters of twice your bar length if needs be .

That would be fairly rapid

 

Depends on how much wood you are going to be cutting each yeaar of what sort of typical size.

 

In my opinion though the more power the better for lots of crosscutting, but unless it's all big stuff, something 90cc is going to get a bit tiresome after a few tanks.
