10-11 is the originals, where they did not cut back more, I don't even understand your reasoning. If I argue for 10-11 final length, why would you put words in my mouth that I argue for 9.5? Amazing. And 15 minus 1-1,5 is still 13,5-14, not 12-13.
But yes, I could even use a 9,5. I have another sword, with an 11 grip, and it is WAY too long in the pistol grip, at least a centimeter. I'm speaking from experience, I've handled (and still do) a roughly 12,5 spatha, and its WAY too long. I commissioned new hilt designs (shame they won't be finished this Summer), and seems like the 9 cm one is the one to go with.
