Heck I bought the 460 and ported it stright out of the box. Its not going to pull strong with a 32 or bigger but darn sure know it kicks @ss with a 28 in.
I think and feel its a stronger saw then a 660 in this range.

Don't let these knuckle dragging, chest thumpers scare ya. ;-)
I would evaluate your use. Is a 24/25" bar gonna be on your saw 10% of the time? If so a 391, or better yet a 362 will do it fine. You will not be a race saw, but do you want to race? I have a 361 that spends the majority of the time strapped to an 18" bar. On occasion I need the 25". It will perform respectably pulling the 25" buried in white oak. Can you stall it? If you try, but run a sharp chain and let the saw do the work, and you will get the job done.

460 with a 2 ft bar is hard to beat from any angle--------------- plunge cutting big trees with a 3 ft bar all day may take a a 660, but other then that it's like humping a pig [M60] verse a SAW
