I can jump in and say why I prefer the 135; maybe others have different reasons, and I know some prefer the 132's. Chocolate and vanilla.
135 had less reach.
135 has less drop.
The drops on the 135 extend rearward farther than those on the 132.
It's been noted (on this thread, iirc) that the ramps and drops are more nearly parallel on the 132. That's cool, but for me it isn't enough to trump the other benefits of the 135. Both the 132 and 135 have a nice flat ramp section behind the hoods that I find really comfortable, so much so that I have abandoned Cinelli bars altogether.
