One of the tree pros around here uses 8 pin on 460s with a 20" bar, and puts full skip chain on it.

In my mind, he is robbing Peter to pay Paul (8 pin & full skip). His logic, less cutters to sharpen.

A penny for your thoughts?
 
No expert either but I run full comp on ms 461 up to 32". I run 7 pin. Tried the 8 but couldn't see much difference.
 
Yea, in the real world even on my ported 046 I prefer 7 pin. I like torque, and if there is a minor pinch, I want that chain to keep spinning.

And with full comp square file on a 24" bar, it seems to cut just as fast with the 7 pin. The 8 pin just makes it easier to slow the chain down.
