Awesome idea and post, nydude!! You wouldn’t happen to have some spine shots of the handles to go along with those, would you? Would be even more helpful in forming a three dimensional vision of all the options.
Good points on the Res-c - there are several versions out there when I think about it and it is apples and oranges I might go so far as to say that applies to a lesser degree between canvas/Linen/G10 and CS profiles. That can be for another day about texturing, smoothing and so forth. I've certainly developed some preferences that I wouldn't know about until down the road with some actual use.Glad it's helpful. I'll grab a shot of Fusion magnum handle on my NMFSH which is really comfy.
As for res c, I was trying to do apples to apples. Also, I think there is a res c color and shape thread somewhere.
I would really like to see the thumb notch come back on the basic handle. Not sure if it was helpful, but thought it looked cool.
