I was thinking to say the same, that insulated lobster are the way to go when below freezing. PerformanceBike has a house brand pair that are inexpensive, but keep my oft-cold fingers warm. So yeah, OP, I'd suggest restacking the array to have lobsters be your coldest ride option, and fingered gloves, in various styles, for everything else.

Something else you may consider, which would obviate the need for so many gloves while providing top-notch warmth, are bar covers like MooseMitts. Check this link for a review of producers and styles: Bar Mitts, Moose Mitts and Bike Poagies | All Seasons Cyclist

Also, if you haven't dipped into the Winter Cycling forum here, you may find some insights there.
