Has anyone observed any limitations to true radial facing curves?

Some elliptical curves have slightly more resistance to help palm keys and
altissimo response.  They do this without resorting to short facing lengths
that give up low note response.  I think elliptical curves sound a little
edgier than radial curves too.  But I have not done anything resembling
formal studies on this.

For over a year I did nothing but radial facings and my clients were happy.
 Lately I lean my targets towards elliptical but they still are close to
radial.  I have seen good elliptical curves on Morgans and Ponzols, in case
you want to measure some to copy.

A well implemented radial curve will always beat out any other curve with a
few irregularities.
