Have a similar set up on mine.. (Pythons) and I need to get the baffle system you have as I mine are monstrously loud at times.. glad they dump out further behind me and not directly under my ear like the short shots would...
but that style on a Dyna IMO just "makes" the bike... enjoy!

Okay, I took it out for a spin yesterday, 20 mins ride cause that was the only sunny break.
Idle: Deeper and lower exhaust tone is my first impression. Short shot sounds a bit sharper and Big shot sounds bassy. I cannot say which one I like more but they both have their own character.
Decel: I used to have a lot of decel "banging hollow can sound" and it's completely gone. What I hear is a nice rumble on decel, the feeling is great.
Acceleration: It's a lot smoother compared to Short shot, low end power is almost like instant now. Even I tired to lug the motor, as soon as I open the throttle, it pulls again. The main point of changing my exhaust out is torque, thank to the power chamber.
Highway: High rpm has a lot more vibration due to the bass tone, I can actually feel it on my seat. It's hard to describe, more like carrying a boom box in the car lol. Nothing bad but it takes time to adjust. Another problem I have is shifting, I always shift by ears, now the exhaust sound changes made it hard to judge what rpm I am at. Again, I should be ok after a few rides.
To sum it up, overall power is improved. Smooth acceleration and better low-mid torque. Good 2into2 pipes which is close to 2into1. More importantly, it looks good. I couldn't be happier! Vroom vroom
