Great review and I agree with pretty much all your points.

With a few tweeks to the choil, the front of the Res-C and personally I removed my ramp, but I can appreciate where some might like it. I think it is as well placed a thumb ramps as most knives, but I do slightly prefer the RMD's ramp.

For me, I prefer no ramp.

For me, the choil really needed rounded and enlarged up into the guard a bit.

As it was, my index finger barely even fits and I think it is too prone to nick fingers. I recommend people dulling that edge corner at the ricasso. But, enlarging and rounding feels a LOT better IMO.
