To me nuances of grinding are in the eye of the beholder. Like you I prefer a more artistic, for lack of a better word, style in a razor.
That isn't the deal breaker for me, it is the geometry issue that you raised in your review. I noticed in Hart's writeup that they say the razor is ground before and after heat treating. Maybe there is some variation in the width of the spines depending on the artisan doing the grinding ?
I know little or nothing about razor construction and design but what you posted on the optimal angle for honing and that being determined by the thickness of the spine relative to the depth of the blade makes sense to me. You would think that if they knew what they were about they would have paid attention to that minor detail.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
