I am trying to figure out the difference between Oregon 72LPX072G and 72LGX072G chains. The first is part of the Super 70 line, while the latter is one of the Super Guard© Chisel Chain line. That's about all I have been able to learn. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the latter is a chain that includes the anti-kickback technologies that are typically employed on "homeowner" type chains. The former is a chain that does not include these technologies and therefore may be more capable of a kickback. The information included on the ordering site indicates this with a yellow ! sign.

That's what I would've guessed, given the word "guard" in the name, but it looks like it's the other way around:

Thanks for the help. I tried several google searches, but apparently didn't phrase it right. I am just trying to decide whether to try something different from the Stihl 33RSC I've been using. From reading your links, I think I will give the LGX a try.
I start with a 7/32" and about 1/2 way down I switch to 13/64" a bit smaller for a bit more hook.
You are going from the best chain on the market to something else. Just say'in.
