So other than the fact that you're use to a long fence is there any
reason why you wouldn't even consider going with a short fence?

For the most part I agree with your analysis though I usually just use
the stock fence on my saw. However, one advantage of a long fence, is
that a straight edge can be ripped on a non-straight board, provided
the board can maintain contact with the fence at both of it's ends for
the full length of the cut.
