Thank you all for your replies. I hefted the saw at the dealer's for a little while, and decided that it just felt nicely balanced with the 18" bar. Holding it by one finger, it just sat level. My old saw was smaller and lighter, and a 18" on it would have felt out of whack. So I went with the 18" bar. I know it is only 2" longer (not even, in reality), but it feels so much bigger than my old 16". But I bet by this Sunday night, it will feel just as natural as my old saw. I've got some cutting to do.
What a great Forum. Again, thank you all.
