Do members typically size up from the Barrie to the Plaza?

As in, 8.5D Barrie = 9D Plaza?

Alex from Harrison's was kind enough to send me these two pics of the Cigar PTB on Aberdeen. It's an interesting make-up; looks to be on the formal side with its sleek last, 270 flat welt with closed heel, and what appears to be a single leather sole, but the light or mid-tan welt screams casual. The shade looks pretty cool, like older Cigar; not very dark unless the lighting of the pic is deceiving. I would have preferred a double oak sole, but it appears to be single. Not sure yet if I want to pull the trigger?? Any thoughts?? @REguy

I have these and love them......go for it!

(Not sure this is allowed, but a gentleman on r/goodyearwelt has done an interesting job lightening up his #8 CTs. I think they look great!)

TBH not a huge fan. Not bad, just not an effect I would particularly desire. They kind of look to be #2 or Ruby. But then again, they also look they might just be a slightly lighter shade of Color 8 that is sitting in a sunbeam at the time of the picture. Don't mean to offend -- the boots are great and look to be wearing in well, just too red for my tastes and I wouldn't go out of my way to try to get that look on purpose.
