I have shot 3 blade, 100 gr Muzzy's for years. I have lost a few deer with them, mostly to bad hits. They are fine broadheads, no doubt!
My thoughts are kinda like yours. If I hit a deer a little far back, a 2" hole is better than a 1.25" hole. Almost twice as good! But, if I hit forward, yeah, I might not get a pass-thru busting both shoulders. BUT, an arrow flopping around in the heart WILL result in death. And, the heart is right between the shoulders (a little low, but it is right there.)
I may change my mind later, but the accuracy provided by the Rage surpasses my concern for a lack of penetration right now.
