The ergonomics are there and that finish is DuPont Imron. It's been used on commercial stuff like semi-trucks for decades. It's way harder than any other stock finish I've ever owned. Flattening agents do not add durability to any finish. My shop has CDL's on the rack with flaking finish from rack rub. You won't find that on BDL's.
Very true.
Doesn't mean I like the high gloss on BDL's, but the gloss Imron finish is one of the more durable stock finishes out there.
Nor do a I care for the drop at the heel--more felt recoil to me.
