The Kaddee design has an oversize flattened knuckle and that darn spring. The #5 is small overall for S and the 802 is about spot on. Only the knuckles are oversize and wrongly shaped compared to the body. BTW; The shank design of the 800s is the same as the original #4. The new design Kaddee has come out with for Large Scale and now "O", has a hidden spring and a redesigned knuckle. They wont say about an On3 version of that coupler.
