My favorite Simpson badger brush is the Duke 3, Two Band Silvertip. To me, the knot feels similar to my SV brush in terms if softness, but in a much smaller package. It's not only my favorite Simpson, but my favorite brush overall, but then I generally prefer smaller knots.
If you want something closer to the size of your SV brush, perhaps a Chubby 2 in Two Band Silvertip would be a good choice. I've not tried one myself, but would like to based on my experience with the Duke Two Band Silvertip.
While I like Simpson's Best grade of hair (I currently have 3 of them), all the ones I've used have had a bit of scritch, so that may be a pro or con depending personal preferences.
