True re: longer is faster, but conversely, shorter can feel mushy and very unresponsive. I'd suggest the 220mm with heavier paddles and weights. Move the weights in towards the hub as you get used to it, then get lighter paddles and move the weights back out.

The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.

I have tested booth.
Longer is better for a more steady hover, together with wights and or more heavy paddles.
The flybar tends to keep the heli steady, the bigger the dia. the more steady. Its also true that cyclic will be more responsive, but not that much on 220mm.

While the longer flybar will indeed be more responsive to cyclic input, it is also more stable.

Get the longer flybar for stability.
