Yeah you're right, I hadn't considered that benefit. In that scenario I normally put a piece of scrap butted against the side end of the cut to prevent the chip out. Stops that dust ejection as the blade exits the piece too.
I use a Bosch saw and usually a 40t Freud blade, I find Freud blades to be excellent and they are my go to for all of my tools. However they don't make a blade with a higher tooth count for a 165mm saw so normally go for one of the 52t Axminster ones.

Out of interest what blade/saw are you using?
