I've learned that I really like V profiles if they're chunky, but hate them if they're skinny.
I've played a 50s Classic Player but not owned one. Don't remember the neck feeling big.
I bought my Eric Johnson from @JohnCordy At .86/87 at the first fret it's reasonably substantial but not baseball bat thick. It has a pretty subtle V at the headstock end that becomes a substantial C (I think). Very nice shape in the hand.
The 12 radius isn't for everyone but I appreciate the bigger frets and flatter frets for widdle stuff. I cut the gloss back on the of the neck too. Lovely Strats they are. I'm not a Strat guy but I have a few and use them occasionally.
Maybe try the Strat Talk forum for more opinions.
Looking at @rze99 's comments above, that's what I thought regarding the EJ, a V to C profile, I believe the V part is meant to be similar to the Custom Shop '57 V profile, which is a little smaller than the 10/56 V. 10/56 is (officially) 0.880" at the first fret and 0.990" at the 12th.
The neck is chunky, esp around 12 fret and there's a def taper to it from a very soft v to thicker C.. It is 12"
The EOB strat neck is huge. Tele U shape huge.
