Sun needs for sweet vs tart cherry trees

I have generally seen that cherry trees, regardless of variety, require full sun (6-8 hours). I was wondering if either one, or perhaps specific varieties, is more sensitive to the amount of sunlight.

When I was looking around, my impression was that sweet cherry trees generally need more sun than tart/pie cherries. Given a slight variation, I would give the sunnier spot to the sweet cherry trees.
