Most people seem to prefer shorter bar lenghts over here.
I too prefer shorter bar lengths, I have a 25" on a ms660 and 22" on ms460 and have no trouble at all felling trees up to double the bar length. However it could have a lot to do with the dia of trees felled and if you need to salami stick the log up.
