I agree almost totally with your thoughts on it as well.
I’ve always wondered why Wenger ranger was not selected as an option for the new soldier, but I suppose whatever behind the reasoning will never be known to us. But I’d like to compare the predecessors of the new soldier, the OHT, and potential candidate from Wenger, the ranger 78

One thing about the Ranger blades compared to the Vic 111 blades is that although they're larger, the cutting edge is nearly identical. I noticed this with my PER 179 in comparison to the blade on my Work Champ and my Hunter. I'm sure the larger blade of the Ranger is to accommodate the larger saw compared to the 111 Vics, but I don't understand why Wenger didn't take advantage of the opportunity to provide more cutting edge on the main blade as well. Seems a design mistake IMHO.
