Duane, I tend to lean more toward your tastes when it comes to the shape of the Simla. That is why I am interested in how you shaped the bottom and why I asked for some photos of the bottom. So far there seems to be plenty of side images and upper images but not so with the bottom. Also, the line of the bottom has a "hitch" on my Simla at former F3. For some reasonit just does not transition smoothly fore to aft.
