If you're interested in watching the 5.3m fly:

You were cooking upwind in those gusts!

Ya, rips upwind and pretty comfortable in gusty conditions.

what wind conditions was it?

also curious about the low end of the S3 compared to what I know F-one Quest or Frigate

I second all this, I have 5/4/3 but only had a couple of sessions on the 4 and one on the 5
If you don't go all the way to the LE it starts spinning indeed.
I find the quest very stable but the bar shakes a bit sometimes.
The bar is brilliant I mostly put 3 fingers (4 with tumb) in front of the "A's" this is very confortable when overpowerded.
I must say I like the frigate too as it moves in the window. The Quest stays a bit deeper. But for killing the power and relaunching there is no contest. Also jibing is easier

the handle needs to be minimalistic for stashing

Yes, a larger surface area increases resistance to sinking I would say.
I assume there's a physical explanation behind it
