I'm a huge fan of my Corne (crkbd for those looking it up) also and I agree with everything you've said here. In fact I'm even thinking of building one with the outer columns chopped off if I can get a bit more used to chording. It didn't at all take me long to get used to the 40%, the split boards, or the column stagger after using a 60% for years and I was quickly back up to ~100wpm in about a week. This was my first time with the three. Most of all, I'm never going back to a non split if I have a choice.
