200T bar length

[Stihl Alive]

I picked up a 16" bar and chain for the 200 today. I've been using the 12" for limbing with great success. Yesaterday it was time to take the top out of one of these pines and I had to hoist the 290 up there. It got the job done but it was heavy and kind of uncomfortable. You guys that routinely use a 200, do you have 16" on it for this purpose, or do you man up and hoist up a bigger saw?

I got a 16 on the 200, I use my cs-300 with a 12" for cutting the limbs on removals then will get the 200 when needed.
