Spot on.... I love these vanes.... yes putting them on needs some surgical skills because of how they curve. Very easy to slightly misalign. But if you get it right with lot of patience then it is the best flying vane.
I've mainly used spin wings and having that elongated ear just suggests it would make adding the pinstripe tape easier to line up and also provide adequate material underneath for the tape to hold the vane, which kinda explains the straight edge for the front side to help line up the tape and if you didn't want to tape the rear it's rounded off for smoothness/aerodynamics purposes
From what i know the first edition of the spider vanes haven't really worked well with lower poundage bows.From your testing,do you think that they would work well with a 37-38lb bow?Thanks
I'm lazy, I don't want to keep putting on vanes and seeing them wear out. So I ended up just using FF-187 with a wrap on all my arrows. But like I said... I'm lazy
Thank you for pointing out the rounded bottom on spider vanes, it’s a pet peeve of mine, it introduces inconsistency, provides no real benefit and super annoying.
It kinda is, the higher the draw weight the dragier you can affoard the vane to be which usualy comes with more forgiveness. It is also linked to your arrow lengh, long arrows needs biger vanes. You need to rely on manufacturer spec or trial and error to figure out what is best for you. XSwing has a great chart for choosing vane, you can somewhat extrapolate to other vanes.

I totally agree with the straight line.

Did you put them on straight or with an offset?
Yes, but are they as squishy as the Griffin vanes?
I won't shoot a non-squishy vane.
Both side are same ? I mean up and down side
Is the vane length related to draw weight or is it personal preference?

We need direct score comparison!!!!!!!
