I have both the long and short clips.
For the 2019 RRT-01 I found that the short clip did not obstruct the ring and worked better if all you were using the clip for was as an anti-roll device.
However, since the COVID shutdown hit I find myself working from home mostly where I'm often wearing exercise shorts or sweatpants. Since I'm not wearing my slacks filled with pocket stuffing, I'm finding it more comfortable to clip my EDC to the side of my pants.
When the clip is actually used for its intended purpose I find the long clip is much better than the short one with the 2019 and 2020 versions. It is much easier to get the clip to slip onto pants that way. The lip of the short clip rests a little too close to where the 2019/2020 body tubes indent and it's hard to get the short clip onto pants with them.
For the 2012 RRT-01 and TCR-01 I find both the long and short clips work well. The body tube doesn't indent so doesn't have the problem with the short clip that the later models have.
