I doubt you are going to change your mind and he won't either. Why worry about it? He's hauling what? 3x the wood or more at least twice as far using 2x the people. As far as loading time, he's got you beat hands down per lbs of wood, 6 ways from Sunday. Travel time per lbs of wood he's got you beat too. You also aren't going to win in the time for distance traveled per lbs of wood. Where you win is in the hard to figure effort to get it from the ground to the carryall/truck bed and in ease of unloading to the stack. Figuring it in sheer labor you have to decide if you want to use effort per lbs of wood or time per lbs of wood.
In the end it's still wash because perspective plays into it and that comes down to opinion.
