I own a 25th, which is basically a slightly bigger ASS, with a forearm contour.
Wonderfully comfortable.
But I also owned a JP, and it flat own PWNS every other guitar I've ever played in my life. The JP is perfect ergonomic balance.
THe only EBMM i've never played is a Morse. So I can't say anything about that.

Nice pictures on the Moody site ...
But I am always suspicious when a brand feels obliged to show naked ladies for selling their products ...
Besides, it's leather ... animal skin ... I prefer the pics from the PETA

May the Morse be with you!
as far as I understand the half naked model is also the owner of the company. So it's a all about creating a buzz
But I doubt BP will do something similar
As for the balanced of EBMM guitars nothing to say it's perfect both Basses and Guitars (at least for the model I know)

...when EVH was asked by Johnny Carson, what it would be like, to be the greatest guitar player on earth, he replied: "I don't know...go, ask Steve Lukather!"
Music Man Axis Super Sport...now sold
For me it's not so much the balance of the Axis, but as others have stated the lack of forarm contour takes a get of used to. I view the Axis as the workman-like hunk of wood that you need at gigs. Great for causing physical injury on stage invaders... mind you, I think mines the heaviest on the forum...
My Silo Spec and especially the Luke feel like they were made specifically to fit my body- effortless... but I do keep grabbing for the Axis on the way out to gigs (that's a figure of speech by the way- I actually lovingly place it in its case haha).
