And there's my dilema, such as it is. I appreciate the Victorinox - and have several of their knives - but I'm also a tactile person and the way something feels is also important.

I agree about the feel. In 1983 my DW gave me chef's knife for Christmas.  The sales person told her that if I didn't like the feel I could bring it back and pick out another knife. I didn't care for how the knife felt in my hand so we took it back and I picked a 9.5" that felt right. That knife is still my go-to for heavier cutting. I have a 10" with a thinner spine that I love for prepping onions. It's balance is better for that task.
