Many people are judging it from photos alone (in fact, most people); therefore, I'm not sure how fair that is.
In the metal, it looks very different. I had similar reservations (based on my perception of the proportions) until I had the chance to see it in person. It works very well (imho) and the width, which is where you can see it really isn't a narrow bodied Trad, gives it a very purposeful stance.
To anyone who is on the fence, or negative, I'll be interested to hear your opinion (and whether it has changed), once you see the new Morgan Plus 8 in the metal.
