It's a nice looking design either way, Jay.

John and all,
Thanks so much for your comments! I took all of them under consideration, and decided to enlarge the fins by 137%, but then "thin them back down" to the original 3/32" thickness.
I also substituted many of the original parts with replacements from the "updated" RockSim files, e.g. using fiber instead of cardboard for the centering rings.
I suppose the only suggestion I would make is to use a nylon chute for the B6-4 motor , or just use a B4-4 instead.
Any additional comments before I release this into the wild? I mean, the BARCLONE Stable?
After this, we tackle streamers for the 1.00X Prometheus. (sly look)
.
