Anything longer than 12" is a waste of gas.  There is no proof that a 14"-16" barrel outperforms a 10"-12" barrel at any distance.

yea i know the gas isn't really a problem but it's till an advantage. the biggest deal is extra friction and the extra mobility of a 10-12'' barrel

 Give the flatline to a friend who plays back, while you play mid, and buy a 12" Bigshot.  I have a 14" Teardrop (I ordered a 12", but they sent me the wrong one and said they were out of 12") and I like it alot.
