…. My beef with the shorty isn't the dirt carrying capacity at all, but it actually costs more than the longer one, whether I'm buying Wix, Hastings, or Baldwin
Reasonable beef, no reason for it to cost more. Here in States, ime price generally the same. Though I'm not a particular fan of downsizing with consolidation in the lube biz, I think it signifies what Jim Allen posted about holding capacity here , "the average filter in the average car at the average OCI/FCI is less than 50% loaded when removed..."
All that said, I'd use the 7317 for the 6607 application where access permits, which is many. Same specs as the shorty with some added media area. Also admit using it mostly a feel good thing. Except for Wix/Napa Gold application where the 6607 equivalent(s) use nitrile adbv, 5/7356 uses silicone, same price here.
