Thumbs up 16" Apes. Opinions?

I sat on a Street Bob this wknd in Daytona with 16" Apes. It was in the HD tent off Beach Street for those who may have also been there. I could not believe how comfortable they were compared to my 14" Z Bars. They were actually closer to me, I didn't feel as stretched. Very well could have been the shape, pull back ect of the bars too.

I'm REALLY considering ordering a set of 16" Burly Narrow Glide Apes......????

In my opinion 16's are the only way to go. I am running the 1.25" Wild One Chubbys.
