Here are some recent scores and comparison pics. Sorry for the crappy quality photos but hopefully it gives some perspective.
From the bottom up... RMDLE, 711, DFLE, B10LE w/choil. Note: the B10 is at a bad angle and is a little deeper and longer than it appears in the group shot.

In the hand, the RMDLE is a perfect hiker/lt camper or large EDC. I could do anything I had to with this knife in a survival situation if needed. The regular RMD is one of my all time favorites; the LE is all that and more.
Specs 10.0 oz, OAL: 10 3/8 inches, Blade 5 1/4 x 0.170, from choil 4 1/2

[censored] this is a nice knife. It’s surprising just how meaty the blade is! Perhaps because it is a nice streamlined profile. With the full size res-c grips I bet you can really hack the crap out of some wood with this one. It is an ideal all around camp knife. This one is a winner!
Specs: 14.5 oz, OAL: 12 1/2, Blade 7 3/8 x 0.260 , from choil 6 1/8.

If you ever wanted an INFI DFLE, then the B10LE is pretty close overall. The DFLE is 2.6 oz heavier, has a deeper belly, and is slightly thicker. However OAL, the grip, the blade thickness, length from handle and choil are pretty darn close.
The DFLE is noticeably heavier and blade forward, even though it is the most reportedly agile of the DF series. I can only compare to a DDF which was a monster in comparison. B10LE is more evenly balanced and agile in the hand then the DFLE. Perhaps designed to be more of an all-around large knife that can also chop vs. a chopper that is somewhat quick. Spec wise...
B10LE/ch: 14.4 oz, OAL: 15 1/4, Blade: 10 1/8 x 0.230, from choil 8 5/8
DFLE: 17.0 oz, OAL 15 1/8, Blade 10 x 0.246, from choil 8 1/2
