Dennis, the BSR Body design is my fave too.
I have a few older "BT" body shapes. They do not balance as well as the BSR on a strap. They are neck heavier (metaphorically speaking) due to shorter upper horn). Is this a problem for me? Hell no!
Their great for sitting, but if you are standing, simply rest your forearm on the upper body-wing to help balance it out.
In fact, one of my favorite Smith's is my '92 BT5 (Zebra).
I always say: If it feels, plays, and sounds great, but it's heavy or doesn't balance well......ask me if I care!
P.S. By the way.....I have a 212XLT (8) on the way!
