I've done about 1400 miles since last August and have not had any hand issues. I find my bike is comfortable for me to ride. I don't like wearing gloves, even in the cold, so I was not looking forward to wearing them. Since the consensus is I don't need gloves, I'll continue without them.
As always, thanks for the thoughts and advice. Be safe!!
