I havn´t seen the Conde version, but LMII has a Russian-made Rodriguez roses copy available in case you´d like that one too, though the background colores are not accurate.

Those Russian rosettes are an abomination. Disgusting.

Por orto parte, the value in Toms bridges is not the cost at 65.00 per unit. The value for a pro is in saving money by calculating how much time you would have to pay yourself to get a bridge to the same level of finish.

If I paid myself 80.00 per hour to make my bridges and Tom's bridge is almost done sans tie block cover, and it takes me two hours to get bridge to that point..Tom's bridge looks attractive.

But my question is not the about dimensions or whether you can get the strings to hang inside the soundhole with minus four mm action, or stand up like six antennae.

The question is, how much does it weigh?

Honestly it looks better than the LMI bridge. And the LMI bridge looks too tall in the tie block to be a svelte high performance flamenco bridge. But 60.00 bucks..hmm that's a bit of change for a bridge. Make them 40.00 and ship overseas and I'd buy a few to try.
