HELP: WO508 or WO572

Good Day all,

I am 5'6", 230LBS and I own a 2011 FLHRC. I am planning on doing some long rides this summer and need some help choosing between these handlebars.
I have done some research on a lot of different bars, and it has come down to these two(WO508 AND WO572). I think both of these bars are absolutely attractive, but which one would be more comfortable for the long haul? I also forgot to mention, I am currently using an HD reduced reach seat and will be getting a backrest soon.

Thank you for all your help,
Dave

A few years ago the moderator's kept that one at the top of page 1 to help riders with new bar decisions. Read through it and then call Wild 1. I will say this about their product; the chrome and finish is absolutely beautiful, and their service is really good. Good luck on your search.
