It all comes down to budget, and if you need an amp.
Take a pencil, hold about a half-inch of it tightly between your thumb & index finger. With your other hand, rock the pencil back & forth. Now hold an inch of the pencil tightly between your thumb & index finger. Rock it back & forth again. Which time felt more stable & solid? Same principle with long vs. short tenons - more contact will mean a more stable joint.
