SAWZ

Maybe I'm just paranoid but I cannot seem to bring myself to fell with less than a MS460. I was doing a woodlot neighbor a favor by felling his dead ash trees for him to cut into firewood once landed. Most 20-28" diameter most with dead tops. I was trying to get some more time on a lesser saw JD CS-62 because it was easier to pack around the mountain side. However I always wind up with the MS 460 to get the job done especially on the bigger ones. I'm not used to felling dead topped trees and I just have this paranoia, maybe unfounded, to get these trees down with the fastest most efficent saw I can use. So far I've been lucky no close ones. I guess I'm wondering hardwood fellers opinions, is this constant nagging decision to use the fastest saw justified?
