Excellent review, Kelvin! Very nice to see these detailed comparisons.
I noticed your photo pointing out the clip… and yeah, that would be a little bothersome, the upward curved end contacting against the hand. How difficult is it to remove the clip? It looks like the barrel material is a very solid glossy plastic so scratches may be minimal or easy to buff out. I wish they’d used a clip design more like the MS-01.
