Don't you think it would be nice if there were race profiles available that
used the same scale?
If you do, what scale do you think would best depict the actual course and
differences between them.

I have stretched race profiles many times so that I can compare. The
irritating thing with Vasa is that the big poster og race profile is no
more detailed than the skinne little hand-sized profile. They just
stretch the little profile when making a big poster.

maximum resolution is best on Birkie you can from race profile see
many of the small ups-downs rolling terrain, but even vasa has some
upsNdowns section that is really smothen out on race profile.
