Winter Gloves

I know this is a really broad subject riddled with numerous opinions, but I am tired of buying gloves that are rated and reviewed well only to be disappointed when I use them myself. I currently wear a pair of Gore Alp X Windstopper gloves with a merino inner glove. The thing is as soon as it is right around freezing my finger tips get painfully cold. When I bought them I didn't think to buy a size up to fit the liner gloves so they are a little snug and I believe that exacerbates the issue. In general I am happy with these gloves by themselves to about 45 degrees. I'd like to find a pair that I can wear to about 20 degrees with or without an inner pair of gloves. I don't like mittens and I have tended to avoid lobsters, both due to control and shifting issues. It is frustrating that I am looking at the weather right now and dreading going out because it is 25 degrees purely do to my frozen digits.

Here are my current gloves
