More open quarters? How to achieve them?

I hope you aren't tired of my "asking for bespoke advice" topics yet. 😉

The final issue for my bespoke suit for now is the openness of the quarters. I wanted them more open to elongate my leg line as much as I can. The tailor already made them a bit more open since the previous fitting. However, I'm under the impression that it's still not enough.

So the tailor tried pulling the quarters more open. You can see the "before and after" photos below for comparison between the current and possibly even more open angle. What do you guys think?

I'm also under the impression that it's not just about the angle of quarters, but also their shape (which the tailor hasn't modified so far). These quarters are still a bit "square", instead of having their corners more rounded (more "cutaway") like in Italian jackets. (See third photo for an example of very open and rounded quarters to illustrate what I mean.) Do you agree?

At this point, would you increase the openness angle, quarter shape, both, or perhaps neither?
