chinense Chocolate Bhutlah SM Photos???

The creator of the Chocolate Bhutlah SM is a member of THP.  Nice guy.  Hoping he can lend some guidance once folk start posting photos.  Wondering that shape folk should be selecting for.  From what i can tell, folk who bought seed from Puckerbutt and grew it this past year have been getting two distinct shapes.  One favors the Douglah side of its lineage like what we see at Cayenne Dianne for Douglah.  You know, has that fold.  If upside down, looks kind of like a crown.  The other is more like a fat ghost pepper.  Which is most correct?
 
On stability.  Before anyone gets all up in arms and says the thing is not stable, I dont think many things are 100% and that goes for what we consider to be established lines.  Anything created recently doesnt have the benefit of decades or even centuries that other things created by crossing does.  To have only a couple shapes pop up at this point reflects a serious effort at narrowing it down.  Hats off to Steven and Puckerbutt for getting this thing to market so fast.

Now that it is out, let the crowd sourcing refinement begin.

I hope mine looks that evil when it's ready.

I am curious if there is a shape that is preferred or to just let 'em grow.
 

Since Standandfire, the creator, said that the scorpion looking pod was an early shape, I am going with the big fat ghost pepper is the later / most desirable shape.
 
I'd say that this is the desired pheno, since Steve is working with Puckerbutt on this. Here's the pic Puckerbutt has on their site:

Hopefully Steve will chime in.....
