Default Touring with WO 575's vs. Sweepers +2

Can those of you who have ridden both Wild Ones 575's and Khrome Werks 300515 +2's tell why you prefer one over the other? I currently have WO 577's on my '09 Ultra and want to go shorter and hopefully improve the wrist angle. Thanks

I think I am gonna follow this one. All the research that I have done say the WO wrist angle is a whole lot better than the sweepers.

I don't think I would buy the +2" (which I did) and then turn around and buy the 575's.
Maybe someone on there has. Even though I almost want higher ones

The rise, pull, and wrist angle are about the same on theses two bars, doubt very many people have tried both. I did the KWs cause they were cheap, drilled myself and internal wired them. the WOs are 1 1/4", pre-drilled for internal wiring and cost over 3 times more.
