What rail profile did you go with?

My personal preference for rail profile looks something like the image below.
However, I told @MRat to go with the rail profile that felt right to him. His rail profile is more 60:40 rounded-egg than my 70:30 asymmetric elliptical.

by asymmetrical you don’t mean different on both sides, correct? Just wanna make sure my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me

Both rails are the same. Asymmetric elliptical means sections of 2 different size ellipses joined together in the same rail profile.

My blog post from many solar cycles passed should communicate asymmetric rail ellipses better. Final rail profile image in this blog post is a 61.8:38.2 assymetric ellipse profile.
(The write-up is more confusing than I remembered it being. The figures communicate the concept best.)
My design process has evolved since the blogs.

Some of the blog post figures:
(MRat’s rails look more like this rail.)
