I may be using a 14" on my 200T for a little while. My 16" is bent, and I need to straighten it.

You don't think I should? I thought about getting one of the light weight 16" bars, but they're pretty pricey. They worth it?

They can bend way more and return to true, for sure. The weight diff wasn't noticeable to me.

Well, maybe that's what I'll do. Thx.

The 14" E-Lite bars are all I've ever run on my 200Ts. They are pricey though. I paid $56 plus tax for the last 2-3 I bought. They are worth it to me because my 200T is my light saber. Like I've posted before, they could charge $1000 for a 200T and I'd still buy it.

Because they are lighter?

Yes. They are lighter and the wear edge seems more durable. And because it is for my light saber.

I don't notice the weight difference, but perhaps that might be because of my advanced musculature. I'm not normal.

Yeha you would trim with the 066 if you had a mind to.....
Seriously, If I had guns like you there boss, I would probably feel the same way.

I agree with Brian, the lite bars seem to hold up alot better. I haven't had to dress the bar on it in quite a while.
As far as weight goes, It does seem more balanced is all i could tell. I ordered one for my rear handle 200.

Sorry guys. Me and Al forgot to do a test on the 16" to 12" bars on my stock 200T.
I dont think it would have mattered in the cut, just the balance anyways.
Al and I took 1st and 2nd in the 0-40cc top handle class, in 8"x8" 2 cuts hotstart over wood.
The 200's could do it in just over 11 seconds with me running semi chisel and the saw I compared to for fun was my poulan 2000 running alot less rpm making the passes in 19 second range.

I really don't think there is enough diff to worry about . The 200 has plenty enough guts to handle a 16" .
By rights I should have got that contest by about a second ,ported saw,shorter bar etc .I just plain got outsawed ,simple as that .
Of course cutting 8 bys over the block and hanging off the side of a tree are two entirely different things . ----But for just a tad over 2 cubic inches the little rascals are powerfull little Jack Russels .

16" with a narrow kerf chain. Suits me just fine. There's times in bigger wood that i think a little more oil would do nicely but otherwise it is an excellent set up. I cant get into tiny little bars. They're good and fine but just not my style. I was taught to climb by an old school guy that climbed with a Stihl 260. I used a 200t for the 1st time after climbing my first year with 260's. It blew my mind and cut my lanyard. For real.
