Something else to keep in mind, mainly just for safety reasons. The longer thin safety chain consumer bars are subject to flexing from side loads. Meaning when most people are felling they tend to pull up or push down on the rear handle. That pressure can flex some of the bars enough to throw the chain off. Ran into a saw a few years ago that the customer was complaining of the saw cutting moon shaped. found that you could pull up on the rear handle in an attempt to rotate the bar through the log that it wouldn't stall the chain but would cause the bar to twist and cause crooked cutting.
