Could be a higher risk of kickback, with the saw being closer to your head and less distance to travel to contact.

Plus your wrist is not in a position to trip the brake until it's already in your face.

Curious about the paint here: is the Stihl paint just a regular bake on enamel like I can find at the hardware store, or is there something special about it?
Has anyone tried an enamel hardener?

Some 056's came with brakes. I've got one with and without. My workhorse is brakeless for noodle clearance

Steve...
The STIHL paint is a regular rattle can type of paint which I haven't heard many good reports on but have read where some don't like it. I had purchased a can several years ago and it was just sitting around. After having success baking other implement paints I thought I'd give it a try - nothing to lose since if it didn't work I could just sand it off.
Well, I was very satisfied, both with the color and with the results of baking it. We didn't baby it at all that day and it shows no sign of flaking, scratching or any abrasion. But, I surely don't know why STIHL calls it gray. It is a cream color not too far from white.
I haven't tried the hardener. I'm not much into painting - just when I have to and I'm finding between powder coating and baking regular paint I am meeting all my needs.
