SuperDuper makes some good points about hydraulic capacities. Just be realistic on what you're going to need (at least try)
My heaviest implement is a 620 pound cutter, so I've got a 200 pound margin to work with. The ballast box (sand filled) has never been weighed, but also goes 600 lbs ± 50 lbs (there was 6 (100 lb) bags dumped in it).
If you bought a chipper of 5 or 6 inch capacity, you would be pushing the limits of the 790's 3PH capacity (figuring 800 lbs).
Loader capacity is a good point...but you can add a grapple (good thread on this in the Attachments forum now.
So, as long as you know what you want to do with the machine, you'll make a good choice. It really depends on how much you want to spend (but the power-reverser tranny on the 3320 is mighty tempting!) on the tractor and implements.
