Two of my favorite brushes.
If I would have to downsize, those two will definitely stay in my possession.

That's what I've made
The Polo 12 is basically a Chubby 2 on a longer/larger handle.

First impressions…
The handle is wider than I expected. Not an issue, but very well suited to guys with chunky (chubby?) fingers.
This brush holds a lot of soap (as others have expressed). Also a lot of water. Getting the right combination will take a bit of time. I used a soap for my first go around but will try with a cream next time which should make loading it a bit easier. In the long run I plan to use this brush mostly with soaps, though.
When I put it to my face for a second I felt like I was drowning in badger hair. This feels just so different from my Kent brush. The tips are very soft but the bristles are very firm. The feeling was amazing.
Overall, it was a less than ideal lathering as I struggled to find the sweetspot between soap and water, but with a bit of practice I expect to be loving this brush really soon (or cursing it and all the people who encouraged me to get it - but hopefully not).

Good call on the Super. I have Manchurian and Silvertip Chubby's that never get used. Stiff is an understatement, but to each their own!
Found a Smokin deal on Simpson Chubby Synthetic, but Brush’s Knot is 29mm.

Never used that one but based on the CH2 I am guessing it would be HUGE. I could have got by quite nicely with a CH1 - definitely would not go bigger than the midsize.Found a Smokin deal on Simpson Chubby Synthetic, but Brush’s Knot is 29mm.

If you want a Chubby, get one- There is no substitute.
From left to right: Chubby 3 in Best; T3 Platinum Fibre; Chubby 2 in Best; Chubby 2 in Manchurian; Chubby 2 in Super; Chubby 2 in Synthetic Fibre; Chubby 2 LE in Sovereign Fibre; Duke 3 in Best.
The Manchurian isn't broken in yet nor is the Super. The Super has been used about 9 months longer than the Manchurian which has been my last Chubby purchase- so far ( I don't have the Chubby 2 in 2-Band yet).

As you can see from my pic, the Butterscotch Chubby 2 is the size you'll get. The knot doesn't bloom like the badgers and is just a tad bigger than the Duke 3 knot-they don't pack the Synthetics dense like they do a badger Chubby. Regardless, I do like the knot, but the T3 Knot is my favorite in Chubby synths.

Awesome collection.
I’ve tried more than a few brushes. All have good qualities but if I could only keep one. I would pick my Chubby all day everyday! Here is a photo I snapped after using it this morning. 24 shaves in the books.
The Chubby 3 is huge. It is listed at 29x57, if I remember correctly. It is bigger than that, though. I think its 31mm.Thank for posting photo of the Chubby - 3, looks like too much Brush for me.

I am feeling the same way about my Duke 2 although a Chubby 1 could be in my future. I tried the Chubby 2 in Best, Super, and Platinum. They were all too much brush for me.
Yesterday I got to do some Brush Recon, Handel if man Brushes.
All Simpsons, like the fell of Chubby 2’s, but favorite was Duke.
Simpson is in my future.
