Fatip Grande vs Fatip Piccolo vs Fatip Grande Nickel

Thinking of purchasing a Fatip. I get a bunch of contradicting info on those 3 models. I understand that they all have the same Fatip head.
Piccolo has a shorter but heavier handle. Grande comes in 3 finishes and they are gold, nickel, and ?
Did I get all that right? What's the third one?
 
Gold Nickel and chrome, i have the chrome, matches up better with my weber and the handle thing is correct smaller heavier (solid) on the piccolo, and the grande, is bigger and lighter as its hollow like a 34c HD is
 
I see, thanks. Nickel and Chrome! Anyone has a side by side pics of those two? Any other benefit of choosing one over the other besides looks?
 
i dont have side by side of the two i can show you a nickel slim next to a chrome fatip or merkur when i get home, looks between nickel and chrome would be only big difference,

Nickel is softer a warmer yellowish tint to it, chrome is the blueish hue to it colder tint to it, if your pocket change is same as ours think of the difference between a nickel and a dime
 
Nickel is the finish on most vintage Gillettes; Superspeeds, Fatboys, Slims, etc. Chrome is the finish on a Muhle R89 or an EJ DE89; bright and shiny.

Personally, I prefer the look of nickel, but some guys like the shinier look of chrome. It's completely a matter of taste.

A little thread resurrection here.

What would be the best Fatip finish to get to match a UFO Kaiser handle in stainless steel? I'm thinking chrome....
