How is the ping at the toe? I am assuming it would be the same if the blade length and handle have the same dimensions of a normal short handle bat

There's a bit of meat on my toro toe, so the ball comes off there quite well.
But it's still not a proper useable area of the bat.

Again,,the toe on my bats,both tapered and square, which when tapping down at the crease, means it sits perfectly.
It is purely personal, it's not gonna help me play shots different or help me hit the ball further.

But
I like it,     Just like people like oval handles, two grips whatever

Still not sure I understand the physics of how adding a cm or two to the edge of the toe suddenly turning you bats into a toe pinging six hitting monster!

It doesn't mate. It's all fluff.

No physics
Just a personal preference
Simples:-)

More wood in the toe means better it should, in theory, feel when you hit ball with it. Would it be like playing a shot from the middle? no, would it be better than playing a shot from toe of a bat with thinner toe? yes, would your hands hurt? always.

L&W Legacy is a good example, ball did go further but it still jarred my hands like any other bat.

Spot on sir

That's because the jarring has nothing to do with the amount of mass and everything to do with vibrational nodes!

Agreed, I was just trying to make a point that more wood in the toe will have an effect on striking the ball that's all.
