Power stretcher vs knee kicker for long hallways, which is actually faster?

I keep seeing guys on jobsites using a knee kicker for 20 foot hallways and it takes them forever, I always run my power stretcher down the whole length and finish in half the time. But then a buddy told me power stretchers leave too much tension and can pull seams apart on thick plush carpet. So what do you all use for long straight runs, do you risk the power stretcher or stick with the knee kicker?

Nah, knee kickers give you way more control and won't blow out your seams like a power stretcher will on a long run.

Oh come on @the_riley, power stretchers only blow seams if you're rushing or using a bad one.
