True. I suppose I was trying to say that I wouldn't choose a chainsaw based on time to sharpen the chain, but on suitability of its size for the work it will be asked to do. The difference between a 14 and 16 inch bar is about one tooth per inch of chain (per side) so it would be about 4 extra teeth, or one minute sharpening.

It's only a real bugger if you have a 3 ft bar and you hit a stone cutting down a stump been there, done that before
