Default Neck Thickness

I own and owned a lot of BTs, BMTs and BSRs and I found that the newer BSR necks feel thicker, beefier than the older BT and BMT necks. What was the reason for this change ? Customer demand ? Construction issue ? Ken's personal feel ?

It's not about pro and con of the neck thickness in common. I feel comfortable with both. I'm only interested in the reason for the change at Smith basses.

I would also like to know when exactly the transition to the beefier necks has started.
