The white spacer is pretty tempting, but are they sitting as flush as the factory one?

I remember being impressed with how flush the liners, scales, and backspacer were on the original.

The red backspacer I got from Alistair awhile back is pretty darn flush like the original. Practically speaking there is no difference to the original but the color, as far as I can tell. It is good enough that if there is any slightly better flushness, I'd need an original side by side to fondle, and squint holding it to the light, to tell.

Since Alistair Phillips is the original designer of the knife, I'm pretty sure the backspacers (and all the possible future mods) will be as great as they may be.
