Good quality and looks awesome... but functionally questionable - HERA Arms CQR Buttstock GEN.2

I bought this stock because I've been putting together a very space-age/sci-fi inspired build and aesthetically this thumbhole design fits the bill.
Looks very sci-fi and is actually built quite well.
I was however dubious about a couple design choices, and unfortunately once i got this stock in hand they turned out to be real problems.

A) The pistol grip is NOT ergonomic. Despite the advertisement material, I could not for the life of me find a hand position with the pistol grip that was comfortable. The finger grooves force a very low grip and left my hand feeling barely in control of the gun. By trying to choke my hand up on the grip, it ends up too high and also all over the finger grooves in the wrong places. It's just bad. Please take a pointer from Magpul in this regard. Super stylized. fingergroove grips rarely turn out well.

B) The buttpad does not have enough surface area. In order to shoulder this, you have VERY limited range and there is a good chance it is not where you need. That, plus the slight angle to the pad had this slipping up and over my shoulder trying to get my head position. A bit more surface area would have gone a long way. Not sure why they felt the need to make it so darn small.

Honestly, aside from those two very serious issues I really liked the stock and I would have wanted to use it. But function must come first.
The design does lend itself to swapping out the grip later IF Hera decided to offer different grips in the future. Currently, what you see is what you get. And it's not great.

Same stock with more buttpad surface area and an actually ergonomic pistol grip, this would be a winner.
As it is, basically only good for a movie prop gun.
