New BR stock question

I'm in the process of putting a new build together. I'm using a Randy Owens dymulax stock, 2500x action, Shilien barrel, and a NF 15-55x52 scope. I have a question about what stock to go with? Given the above information I'm looking to know if I should go with the low profile or high profile stock. With a nearly 1" barrel, scope base and mounts for a 52mm objective is the high profile going to be better? I'm looking for anyone that might have a similiar set-up that can help me.
 
I have a low profile & find I need a spacer under my rear bag at most ranges. Could buy a taller rear bag. Haven’t had the problem with my one piece rest.

I have a Vudoo in a McMillian edge stock, and a Turbo in a Chacon custom stock (his custom) which has a taller butt than the McMillian Edge. I have to adjust the one piece rest to handle both with a bit of effort but not bad. The Chacon custom stock being taller can cause me to bump the gun/rest when working the bolt where the lower McMillian does not create that issue.
 
I took a look at John's stock, very nice indeed. But I'm not looking for a light weight wood stock. The Rotex dymulax is a composite stock at about 5lbs.
 
Always sell the stock (regardless of initial choice) for little to no loss if it doesn’t trip your trigger .. and order the other model. Randy has quite a backlog even with adding a second router to do inlets. I have all low profiles but that doesn’t mean it’s right for you. I’d just do the smart thing and order of of EACH!

The one you don’t want will prob sell in a couple weeks.
 
I really want Randy's stock and the wait isn't a problem. He's about 4 months out right now, I'm #76 on the list. Even if I had all the parts today Mark Penrod who is going to build the gun can't start for nearly 5/6 months on it anyway. So, the reality will be get the gun late this summer, fine tune etc. and ready to go next year.
 
I have one of John’s & a Rotex that’s the Spectraply stuff. My rifle shoots better in John’s. The rifle shot better in the Rotex after I got it off the pillars though.Two schools of thought there I guess.

I know he will bed for other actions but he needs the action there.
When I ordered mine, for a LBRP Turbo he needed it as he hadn't done one.That was a couple years ago. I think he said he wouldn't have for a RBLP Turbo??
