Mine has a shorter stroke, which I like for a few reasons:
-When you're cutting in tight areas, you're not as likely to beat the crap out of surrounding bits & pieces.
-Not as prone to bouncing itself, and me, around
-I don't seem to break as many blades

If I have A LOT of straighforward cutting to do, I borrow my friend's Makita
