I think I remember that the Brown Whelen also has the shoulder pushed forward. Can any of you confirm? It doesn't seem that the slight increase in case capacity would be enough to make it worthwhile.
The apparent consensus on the .35 Whelen Improved, seems to indicate (like you stated) that the slight increase in case capacity/performance is hardly worth it, but as Sitka deer stated, there is a benefit regarding potential headspace issues and case life, so from that standpoint, it could be considered worthwhile.
