The immediate con to a 3/4" stroke over the 1/25" stroke is that it will
cut most effeminately through 3/4" thick or less material. The 1/25"
stroke lets that happen up to 1.25" thick. If the stroke is shorter than
the thickness your are cutting, some teeth never get to come out of the
wood and clear.
That's not really an issue when one considers the number of tuba-x
material and thicker Sawzall's have zipped thru over the years...

And yet one with a longer stroke will cut faster.

Yes, but the standard 3/4" stroke certainly isn't really the "most
effeminate" of cuts...that's the point that the ability to whack thru
most anything pretty effectively really isn't greatly compromised w/ the
shorter stroke--that every tooth doesn't clear the material surface
isn't generally that much a limiting factor.
