Oh wow, that picture is actually on their website. What did you think of them when you had them? Any noticeable differences? Good quality? Worth it?

those handles in the Pic are bulky and no lighter then a stock handle..the knobs are the same..
Seems like a graphite or cheap carbon core that is soft..
nothing like the ZPI or BASSART handles..

The new handles are much more refined-thinner, stiffer and available as swept models, too...
