Best praise vs top criticism for Burton Hometown Hero

Best Praise
+12 pts
“Been running with a Hometown hero for the past few years, still have a fishtail for deep days and a warpig for groomer days, but the hometown does it all pretty well.”

Top Criticism
+2 pts
“Thanks. Could you elaborate a bit? I'm aware of the progressive sidecut and specs say 8.4/8.0/7.8. I'm assuming that's starting from the tip contact points then going inward. My hometown hero on the other hand is like a 7.2 but I've gathered (from reviews and research) that it's not the best carver and thus assume that the BSOD would be worse because of the higher values. With that, I'm sure I'm missing something.”
