Default Stock Fairing Mirrors

What's the vote on stock FLHX mirrors ? I've seen some bikes that have both Fairing and Handlebar mounted mirrors. Is there a better alternative to the stock version ? I'm looking at part of my hands on the current stock mirrors.

Went from handlebars to fairing and back again. Prefer them on the handlebars personally speaking.

I went to Street Glide fairing mirrors on my Ultra and won't go back to bar mounted mirrors

I thought I wouldn't like the fairing mirrors, but it didn't take long to get use to them.

The stock mirrors worked fine for me but I added the painted inner faring and chose not to cut holes in it for mirrors

I have color matched fairing mirrors on my 07 UC from day one less vibrations and always within my eye sight without any effort.
