As I worked on the character, though, and did a lot of pose-testing, I found a few places that weren't cooperating, with the new length.  I specifically remember problems with the head twist creating some distortion at the sides of the neck.  Also, a lump at the back and base of the neck, with neck bending.  I don't think any of this stood out as a problem until I did funny things with the scaling.

Good to know! Thanks!
