MLL, you wouldn't be thinking of the GOLDEN RATIO or 1.61803398875, would you?

I think a slighly bulkier black tie (hand tied, of course) would help a little- similar to the proportions of your white tie.

That said, we are truly splitting hairs at this point. Any of the three latest outfits would be wonderful. I personally like #5 or #7 of the new group.
