This rest is more than double the price of the basic Caldwell The Rock rest -- are the features worthy of that increase?

I have the BR and like it. Looking at both rests there are some differences. If you are just using a rest for casual shooting and sighting in, I think The Rock would be just fine. The BR is much heavier (13 lbs vs 5.5 lbs) and has more adjustment. The BR comes with 2 different style front bags. The front rest on the BR also has a horizontal adjustment screw for fine left/right adjustments. They perform basically the same function but the BR is beefier. I think the BR would be more stable and more precisely adjusted for point of aim. You can also go to http://www.btibrands.com/brands/caldwell/?archive=shooting-rests and check out the specs for yourself.

how wide a forearm will fit

When the cradle ears are adjusted to the outermost limit, the width between the ear plates is 5 ⅞ inches. The supplied three-lobe (black) bag, when partially filled, provides a flat bottom support 3 ½ inches wide for the rifle forearm. The side bolsters of this bag accommodate a stock about 4 ½ inches wide. This is adequate for target rifles, but may not be wide enough for a benchrest stock. Note that the cradle ears are removable.

What are the dimensions of the foot?

The foot makes a triangle in inches of 15.5x15.5x9
