Default LA choppers 12 vs 14

Hi I was hoping to get some insight about handlebars for my street glide. I have a 2016 FLHXS and I was looking at the LA choppers 12 and 14 inch bars, I like the 14s but I love I. North west Washington and will probably need heated grips since my hands will be above the fairing. The 12 inch bars are sorta behind the fairing but cover up the mirrors so I'd have to get handlebar mirrors. I'm 6 foot, pretty big guy, just curious what people think. I think 14s would be more comfortable for me, the stock bars just make my shoulders scream after a couple hours on it I need to upgrade!
