Flame lugs: yes or no ?
Here are seven different ways to interpret the flame lugs design.

Yes!
They are all so pretty, but I do have a preference for the more elongated ones on the VC timepieces....
Yes, they are very nice, especially the 4449 for me.
PP 2413 is quite stunning too, but maybe a bit too much.

Quite fascinating indeed.
But maybe a bit too much for me.
I like VC 4449 very much. And the IWC.

Yes, it's quite fascinating, but I wonder
if I wouldn't find it a bit too much on a daily basis.
I like VC 4449 quite a bit. The IWC is quite nice too, imo.

Another vote for the Patek
The flames actually look like flames, at least from head on! Side profile is a bit less flattering. Looks like they had to add extra metal to the tip of the flame for sturdiness.
I think you might be right and I agree that the side profile is less flattering.
I find the 2413 very impressive, but a little less realistic "flames" would have been ok for me.
