As I mention, if you start doing long tails or something like that, perhaps then it might be an issue .
great - well as said above
i really appreciate all your ideas, thoughts and i love this thread.
so you are arguing for using up to 1220 mm beam - or max 1500 but 2000 is quite tooo much !?
this would have some benefits - the shop-space here is not tooo large - in other words - the 1220 beam is quite smaller and would fit into my rooms even more - than the 2000 beam would..
love to hear from you all -- and look forward to the discussion here
greetings from good old Europe

btw: as duanedr mentioned:
Doing some rough calculations, the wheelbase would need to be upwards of 1300mm before 1220 wouldn't be enough. The front of the beam sits roughly inline with the HT bottom edge, not the axle. I know another 5-6inches of length on my beam would be annoying to as it would make it that much harder to get around it in the shop.
But if i get more options with a taller beam (up to 2000 mm) i will go the hard way ...
As allways - i look forward to hear from you
