What bar do you all use on your Husqvarna 550xp 15" or 18"?

The 72dl bars in .325 really are just over 17", even though they are called 18" - so the difference discussed here is much closer to 2" than to 3", as the 64dl 15" ones are true 15" bars.

 

My personal choice on 50cc saws are the 66dl 16" ones (that really are just a tad over 15 1/2").

 

I can't explain why the 2dl longer 16" bars feel so much more "right" than the 15" ones to me - they just do, surprisingly often.

With other mounts, and in 3/8", the difference between 15 and 16" bars are larger than with the "small Husky" ones.

 

For some odd reason 16" bars aren't common at all in the parts of Europe that I know much about - something that also is reflected in the heading of this thread. Does anyone have any idea why it is that way?
