@ChrisG Great effort in applying sound engineering judgement. Your approach is good though your conclusion leaves out a number of factors. We have discovered that the new rear triangle is actually STIFFER than the old bike, through both controlled lab testing and field testing. This was achieved by oversize tubes, specific carbon layup, the addition of 2 bearings, upsizing of 6 bearings, wider bearing stance at the pivots and the rear square axle. All at reduced weight.

I am the frame engineer, so I know. Not sure that we published it anywhere. We usually only publish tech notes on things that don't fit.

Correct - the carbon shape is different than the alloy shape.

We found the stock Fox bumpers work well on the Carbon. What are you seeing that I am not? What bumpers are you suggesting?

The bottom of your shoe is convex - hence you want a concave pedal to best match up. They only real measure of a pedals thickness is at the spindle. Canfield's are 17 at the spindle. PointOne's are 13.5. These protos are actually only 10 mm at the spindle, and have a concave shape, which means they are thicker at the front and rear by design.
