It seems you dislike the spoke-wheel truss-rod system from the Elite necks and wanted a more conventional MIJ replacement from the stratosphere having a comfortable 12''-inch radius.

I suppose you also changed the notched pickguard.

I bought the neck locally (Australia) because it was much cheaper than buying the original neck from Stratosphere.
The neck not having the notch, makes the notch in the pickguard barely noticeable, so I didn't replace it.
I figured the radius, being 12", was in keeping with the modern nature of the guitar (I already have 7.25 and 9.5" radiused Teles).

The Elite necks have a compound radius and a profile that morphs from C to D.

So you chose the flattest radiused neck currently available.

Yes.
