that just depends on the compounds you run, the doses you run them etc... you will end up being on about the same time throughout the year... there will just be MORE actual cycles ran with shorter esters but if you take the actual time on, it will be about the same either way... you can make the argument either way to be honest... lets put it this way, you are going to get sides either way, its about how you run them, if your on top of your ancillaries, you are running the proper pct etc...
