I am no expert when it comes to chain saws but I do note that 16 inch ones are very common and would doubt it is worth any small savings in buying anything smaller. Replacement chains will be far more common and easily available as well.
What is your objection to a manual saw? A bow saw will go through an 8 inch tree in minutes. If it binds and it might, you might drive a small wedge in behind the blade this will also help encourage it toward the falling direction you choose. On the other hand, a power tool is a wonderful thing, just a bit extreme for a one-off job.A bow or Swede or buck saw, even a big one will probably cost under 20 bucks!
