I just had a look at my Basic 7 (smooth coat version) and my S6. The handle length and general contours are pretty much identical. However the S6 handle seems a fraction fatter so would probably suit big hands better.

IF Jerry does do another Basic of pretty much any kind, WOOP! I'm all over that! INFI with good handles? Nice!
