Monster Maul ~ that IS kind of goofy. I'd have to scratch it off or duct tape over it. A 20 oz Stanley is a pretty good hammer. You can big and small with it. With that, and a 16 oz wood handle finish one, you can do jussabout everything you have any bidness doing. Framing hammers are for, well, framers, and they're used differently, gripped higher, etc. Pro activity. Dangerous. The knurls are "sposed" to give better head to nail contact, and in heavy hammers they for sure do. I've never been able to decide, even tho I share your suspicion (i.e. tenderizer fear), if there is any REAL reason the head of a knurled hammer is going to be more....watermelon, on your flesh and bones. I would like to see some slo-mo films on this. I've actually considered this in some detail, at various times I was supposed to be paying attention. (As I bet you can imagine. You know, it's that idle mind thing.) (And flesh vs bone destruction. Complicated.) But the larger hammers have a slightly different angle to the claws, larger, and this facilitados pulling of nails with less effort. You won't need that though.
