Need help deciding particles!

[tee.dubs]

Hey guys, i'm nearly finished with my chainsaw, all i need now is some opinions regarding the two choices i have for the particle emissions. I can't decide which looks more appropriate, i'm also considering ridding one of the pipes. Any help would be appreciated! I just really need someone to say pic 1 or pic 2, pic one me the top and pic 2 being the bottom. That's all i really want, thanks guys!


Ps, i'm aware that chainsaws dont generally have such prominent exhausts, it's purely for dramatic effect.

Second ^^

second

The number after 1, because i think with the particles looking like their being blasted out of the chainsaw at a high speed (unlike the first, where they seem to float up, i think) it gives the effect of a powerful killing machine.

use both (stand 1 stand 2) or just make a long stand animation and animate the speed

Both, use 1 for a normal animation and 2 for an animation that runs once in a while.

oh, well i actually already decided on the second option but i'll try and incorporate some of the ideas here into an update. thanks everyone!
