Thanks for feedback on them TRJB!
I'd say i'm about medium sized hand, fitting into large biking gloves...i figured the -3 would be the largest i'd go.
I don't do much virgin woods riding, or travel them with speed, where i feel i'd get it caught into a branch or anything but like you described i'd like the hand position to rock my way up inclines.
Just have to figure out whether the GP3 or GS3 is the way to go for my hands. I should probably see if any local LBS stock them....
