Well not only are you guys making note of it, but just about everyone we show the picture thinks it was overkill.  Truth is its the only saw I own so it was either that or a hand saw.  I guess it did not dawn on me that it might be overkill. 

We have a lot of Old pines that I cut up for firewood when they die and the longer bar was purchased to get through the trunks.  Now I am so used to it and a bit spoiled as the longer bar makes limbing much easier (less bending and further reach). 

Might be awhile before he can handle that one.
