Didn't Korn have a signature baritone guitar? K7 or something like that?
IIRC.. It was a standard scale (25.5).. Like the other 7 string ibbys..

These are ugly?
I'm sure if you went back to the manufacturers with the question "why so few baritone guitars?" the answer would be simple "lack of sales". While the idea may have merit, in actuality most of us would stick with what we have. Baritone guitars have been available for a long time, but they are still just a niche item. Sales drive design and production - it's that simple.
Baritone necks are definitely longer, usually between 26 and 28" (but most super-strat guitars are 25.5", such as Chris Amott's Caparison; 25" necks are less common, the only companies I know of who consistently use them are PRS and Carvin) A longer scale length definitely can be advantageous for comfort and intonation (more tension and thus tuning stability without having to use humongous strings), though it also changes the tone somewhat, and I'm on the fence as to whether it's a desirable change (my impression is it tightens everything up, but sometimes a bit too much...really want to pick up a guitar with a long neck, probably a 7-string because of availability/price, to mess around with)
i've tried 7 strings in the past but i just cant get my head around the extra string. i've been playing almost 10 years now so i've become accustomed to a 6 string. i understand what your saying about a baritones stability & tightness, i would have thought in many cases especially for metal players tightness is one of the key fundamentals. (at least it is for me) when you have a kick going at a solid 200bpm a sloppy guitar riff can destroy the track
i suppose the only way im going to find out is to go try out one. i dont like the fender baritones or the prs ones cosmetically but ill try them out for tone styling etc. im still hoping for rob flynn's to be released by ESP - his one was a custom baritone if i remember correctly
^^^ Was the 8 string hard to play dude? The neck's on those monsters always look huge!
That really is fucking sexy as hell, I have to say

ESP LTD VB-401 and MHB-401. Both baritone.
What about agiles dude ?? They have a wide selection of 7 string baritone guitars or even 6 string baritones.. check them out..
The thing is: Rondo Music has no European distribution.
For most of us Europeans that's quite a dealbreaker because although they gladly ship overseas, we have to deal with customs and taxes (on top of shipping) and there's been some people who had their instrument being damaged upon arrival.
I'm hoping they'll get a proper European distribution at some point.
