Ran the 550xp today with 20" Pro Lite Bar And 3/8 Stihl Yellow RS Full Chisel Chain. It felt very comfortable and I think it's slightly slower in the Elm than the Skip Full Chisel chain. I think the RS would be better for limbing. The 20" bar really chewed through 8"-10" pieces of Elm.
Still have to try the the Semi Chisel RMC chain which is on the way in the 20" bar.
Will try the 18" pro Lite bar next with the different chains and see how she performs. I am very happy with the 20" bar and like the reach a lot. She balances well with the 20" pro lite bar. I am sure there will be a little more cutting power with the 18" Bar but not worth it to me for the loss of reach, just have to try and see.
