- By using a 96" radius for the back, it doesn't reach the horizontal at the front and so there is a sharp kink between the front and back curves.
- The front radius gives you that classic aerofoil look, but you lose 24" of floor length, which is now only 72" long including the galley. Of course a bit higher up you have quite a bit more length, but it means you need an odd shape to the mattress (out with the electric carving knife...).
If you reduce the rear radius to 78", the curve goes horizontal as it meets the front curve, so there is no kink between them.
If you switched to a 48" radius for the front bottom, you lose only 6 3/8" of floor length.
