I know Ergon is the ergo grip of choice here and I was looking at the GP1 standard grip and the GC2 with the smallish horns. I currently just have flatbars so the GC2/3 horns intrigue me as I'm not quite sure what I'd do with them. I gather from youtube they can be useful for climbing but it seems your arms would be quite wide to grip the horns long-term. I think the GP1 would do the bulk of the job as far as vibration absorption and ergo. But it's not much more to get the GC2.

Anyone care to inform me if the horns make much of a difference and how/why?

Also, an aside is the hand-size thing... depending here you start from wrist to finger i'm like an 8 but my spade-like hands are maybe 9.5. I guess I should get a large but I would prefer to try them first to verify a large isn't too much to grip possibly causing fatigue. Any advice?
