Who prefers a two-handed backhand with a standard length racquet?

I was wondering how many people hit a two-handed backhand with a standard length racket. I was hitting with the Babolat Pure Drive Team Plus but I got tired of the length... it was a nice handle on the backhand though but I've been hitting with standard racquets my whole life so I switched back.

Prefer standard length no matter the shot, except maybe serve, but thats not enough to justify my using one over a standard.
 
Previously I hit two backhand using wilson triad 5.0 (27") and changing from TT Scream and PD+ 27.5" and currently using wilson PS 6.1 strecth 28".

Based on above experience, I prefer using extended racquet instead of standard since :
- it had reach advantage and more easly to produced hard and plenty of spin backhand
- More top spin in your forehand since you've got more leverages. And stable when returning hard and full with spins return.
- More pops in your services also
- More reach on stop volley shots

But still had diss advantage when volleying ball which aimed to your body
:(
