Implume, no one is arguing that the small differences won't matter to some folks. Yes, the basic handle is a tiny bit narrower and shorter.
I posted because I'm concerned that the positioning of the handle differences in general might be misinterpreted, that one is somehow "big" and the other "small".

Here's a couple photos that might help folks understand just how subtle the differences are.

And here's the spine shots. I put my S6LE in at the far right to contrast between small and "big". Note that even among the various blade types there are small differences in the handles.
