Either send a e-mail or call their customer service reps to find out what the difference in butt stock length is. The way things are nowadays with the economy if they think your a hot one, i.e. $$$$, they will go out of their way to help you. 0 -

Check www.k-var.com for Arsenal Saiga's.
I have both length stocks and am 6'4" tall. I actually prefer the shorter Warsaw length.
It's all personal preference, but have 5 AK's it's easier to just have one length.0 -

"NATO" length is for big fat Westerners with thin clothing (longer stock).
"Warsaw" length is for small underfed Commies wearing thick winter clothing (shorter stock).
Which you want comes down to personal preference, based on your exact anatomy, and whether or not you think you're going to be wearing body armor or bulky clothing when shooting.
In general, its possible for a bigger shooter to get away with shooting a gun with a smaller stock, but the converse is not true. If the stock is too long, that can make it difficult to shoot comfortably.
In general, AK stocks are also readily available and relatively inexpensive, so its not like you can't switch if you don't like the one you've got.0
