In my opinion, the perception of torque is significant - especially coming out of the saddle. I think I like 'em, but they take getting used to. I do feel a sensation like my whole leg is part of the effort now...

I'd highly recommend that folks considering such a big jump try them out. I'm still not 100% sure that I'll love them as much as the 180's - but time will tell.
