I have both. And, all the differences you quote are true. With the exception of the aluminum bedding block extending farther in the varmint model, which it may do , but i've never compared them for that and don't know. If there is a difference in length, it is not enough to make one better then the other. I would check, but, all my stocks are currently attached to actions.
I pesonally prefer the varmint stock for two reasons. The first being the straight fore end. And the second being the weight. The ultimate varminter is a little lighter.
My .02 cents.
