It sounds like the overall consensus is not to worry too much about how much hollowing you've got or which blade and just figure it out as you go. Probably good advice. I'm sure technique, prep, and patience will make most of the difference vs. half or full hollow or what width the blade is.

It's hard as someone totally new to this to really know if these things make a big difference or not. All we can do is ask, right?

I'm leaning toward the Ebenholz mostly for looks.

Thanks, guys.
