Rick - Congrats on the addition! My .02 on the pics - Top pic is starting to get a "racing" style eggy bowl with the forward cant. Bottom pic similar to the first, adding stylistic moves that are going away from a classic author. Neither are unpleasing to the eye, they just aren't "classic" (Comoys 256 or a CK in my book). Middle pic is the winner if you are going for a classic author. I think you could stretch it a little bit. 1/2" max. Length added to both shank and stem would help - Top pic is stretched about a 1/4" verses the original bottom pic.
