That's the way Peterson makes them.Actually, I think the original stem in the photo George posted looked fine to me minus the oxidation. Looks pretty much like the stem in my old chubby Pete.
If you like them as it, then it's good
I find the transitioning of the taper too abrupt, and the bend should be more "sensuous"
Being a short stem those faults are far less evident and less grating than in a larger pipes with a longer stem such as my XL90.
I'm OK with agreeing to disagree
