Font of bigger parentheses and their spacing

[davidmjones]

I noticed that with below MWE, the bigger parentheses, braces, and brackets do not have the same look as the small (standard or autosize) ones. I also noticed that the spacing (here the horizontal white space in front of each symbol) is differing.

For Latin Modern, this white space is getting bigger with each new size of symbol. With Asana this space stays the same all the time. With STIX we get something in between which does not seem very consistent.

To make things worth (maybe not the right place here), the spacing differs when mathtools is loaded (but still is not consistent). Apart from this, the double-g-versions get another vertical size when used with mathtools.

Somehow strange and maybe worth a look on it. Thank you all for your work!
