Size Chainsaw for Firewood?

I have a 55 Husky, 18" bar. My BIL has a Stihl 066 Magnum, 20+" bar. The difference in performance is staggering:( the Stihl looks like it is cutting through a wet paper bag....BUT I would hate to lug a bigger saw around when you are cutting household fire sized logs. For me, 18" bar and around 55 to 64cc is just fine.

I love the KTM line Drover...:D:D:D

we are also looking at the stihl 291 and 311 because of the cash back. anything around 40cc and bigger would be good for firewood

our neighbour does that he has gone to nationals a few times along with another local guy in my yr at school. i wouldnt mind having a go but the cost of the chainsaws is to much for me
