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".
Kraz:
That’s exactly my point. It’s not that the basic handle is small and the standard handle is bigger. They are both about the same size. But subtle differences in the shape of the two handles make a difference that…well…makes a difference.
