Which Konosuke Petty, the 150mm or 180mm would better compliment my new 240mm Kon HD Gyutou?

I pulled the trigger on a new Konosuke HD 240mm Wa-Gyutou in Ebony today after returning my Miyabi Birchwood. 

This is going to be my main workhorse for prep, but I was looking at their pettys for a good option while on the line. 

Out of personal experience, would anyone recommend a 150 vs a 180 paired with a 240mm? 

Im leaning towards the 180, but its out of stock. 

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a fan of longer petty's. I find them a bit unruly especially in a professional setting but this is really just personal preference. By the time I'm at 180+ I'm just grabbing a different blade so 150mm for me is an easy choice.

I like my 150 Kono quite a bit.  150 is a useful size for just about every paring, and all but the largest trimming and boning tasks.  If you trim a lot of big pieces of meat, defatting brisket for instance, a 210 would be good; and a 180 would be an ideal size for a bar knife.  I don't do enough precision work anymore to want anything shorter than 150.

FWIW, I don't notice significant flex with the 150; not even compared to my 6" Nogent slicer.
