The B3 is shorter than the B6, so on an ES-335, the B3 vibrato arm would not reach up to the bridge. With the B6, the vibrato arm reaches past the bridge.

Since you did this mod, I'm sure you know best; which makes me think that the descriptions on the Bigsby website are wrong. I had an email exchange with one of the reps (just today) and he recommended the B6 for my Ibanez AF75. According to them the B3 is intended for thin hollow body guitars which is what the 335 is, but apparently they're wrong! Good work man thanks for your time! Where did you buy the Bigsby and parts from?

@panagdimi I believe I bought all the parts on Reverb.com, though I also was looking on ebay. I have no idea why Bigsby made the B3 so short or why the B6 needs to have a longer hinge. Fortunately, the shorter B3 hinge is available as a stand-alone item, and they are interchangeable. I'm glad I went with the Towner system over the Vibramate.
