Track saw

so, I will be treating myself to a nice new Erbauer track saw from screwfix, at that price can't be beat really for the amount of times I am going to be using it and with a respectable depth of cut to at 67mm.

I am guessing the saw will come with a medium to fine finish blade, but looking to rip down the length of some 2" seasoned Beech..... any suggestions on a good blade?

I've also upgraded the track to 2.8m ?

Picking it up on Thursday ?

Looking around last night, it seems that depth of cut comes with a trade off, in that 185x20 is an odd size with only very limited options... 

Drop down to a 165x20 blade and there are plenty of options and tooth counts.

However dropping to a saw with a 165 blade the price increases, or can I run a 165 blade in a 185 machine?

No reason not to run a smaller blade, except your tip speed will be commensurately lower, which presumably means the blade will not cut as fast or clean.
