Backun Alpha vs. Royal Global Max for smaller handed players

I've recently tried the Backun Alpha and Royal Global Max and am curious if anyone with smaller hands has issues reaching some of the left and right hand pinkie keys with the Alpha. For me, I have trouble reaching the left hand Ab and D, and the right hand D and Eb, it feels like I really have to think about reaching those keys. Then again, this is my first low C, so I'm unsure if it's the Alpha's ergonomics not working for me or if all low C bass clarinets are this way to some extent. I didn't experience this on the Royal Global Max, reaching those keys felt more natural to me. Shame because I like some of the Alpha's features like the triple Bb correction and the freer blowing nature. I thought that the Alpha was gonna be my choice but this experience makes me want to go with the Max instead

I'd like to hear thoughts from those who have tried multiple instruments.
