You're not alone. I've lost count on the number of Pros who claim they are using a 2.8/9 but it then has 3 grips on it.

If I had to from that list would be a Keeley all day. B3 offer great choice and arguably the best custom options available but the few of had and seen the finishing is shocking for the price. Can’t comment really on the others as been 10years since I last used a H4L and never a WCW. However if I was shopping in that price range there would be at least 3 I would pick over all of those brands from a personal perspective.

Yeah, I agree. B3 would be my choice of those options purely based on the handles. Outside of that list, I love what Paul Aldred does, the only bat I have had that I haven't had to mess around with the handle thickness and shape tbh.
If Aldred was stocked in retailers I'd happily go pick some stock bats up and choose one, his sticks are as good as it gets. Would I place a custom order with him? Nope.

My personal favourite that - every bat is 2.8 regardless of what the scales say :D ;)

Fair enough.
Just an FYI, maybe should post this somewhere else on the forum. But Maddog Sports in Nottingham stocks Aldred bats off the shelf, know a few people who have bought in that way. https://maddogsports.co.uk/collections/cricket-bats
