Short slides for slide guitar

[piebaldpython]

Just a quick musing here as to how many of you use or try slides that are under 2" in length???? Pros/cons other than the obvious......"you can't barre all 6 strings with a shorter slide."

I like my slides around 1.75" (45mm) as I don't need to barre all 6 strings and the slide is more maneuverable (sp ?), easier to wield, etc. when I'm playing my roundneck reso.

What say all of you?

All depends what your up to, do you plan to play only single note lines or do you want to make barre chords with the slide :socool in my experience the short bottleneck are more difficult to handle less sustain and less control.
