Stihl 362 bar length?

Hi guys,

 

My last saw, an MS361 with 20" bar was stolen last week, so I've just ordered a Stihl 362-w, the one with heated handles.

 

Stihl will sell me a standard 362 with a 20" bar, but the 362-w comes with a 16" bar only.....

 

Can anyone tell me why Stihl recommend a max bar length of 16"? Do heated handles really knock that much power of the saw to warrant the bar length restriction? If so, would that suggest a reduction in the"20% fuel economy" over my old saw?
