Fretboard Radius, Preferred ??

I just posted this thread on the 'Guitar Gear' forum and thought maybe this was a good place to ask also.

I have 9" radius on my Strat and semi hollow, 12" on my Gretsch Jazz box. Not sure of the acoustics, but they are fairly narrow, closer to the electrics than the Gretsch.

I posted a response in the other thread. BTW, cross-posting is generally kinda frowned upon...it makes more work for the mods. Just a friendly word of advice!

Thanks Stratrat, I wasn't sure about where to post my query, to get the best response; I can see your point.
Thanks for your comments on the radius.
I am thinking about getting a 9.5" or compound radius neck for this guitar and leaving the original neck at the std 7.25 and I am going to fit bigger frets. Then I can try both without a major change to the original.
