Built another photonblade today with trimmed ws2812b, about one and a half mm each side, very nice results here, definitely a touch brighter than the 3535s, not mindblowing, but still a noticeable slight touch more. Side shadows nearly completely gone, not as perfect and complete even as the 3535s but even enough to have to look very closely to see the shadowsilhouettes. So I think both ways are very nice and itīs up to oneself if a touch more brightness is oneīs goal or perfect evenness.
