I'm after picking up a set of lightweight quickdraws for alpine multis and long sport onsights. 

Pretty much settled on the Ange Finesse, but still umming and ahhing about the sizing. 

I've had three of the S/S on my rack to test for a little while and they do handle ok. That being said, I'm wondering whether it'd be more sensible to go for the L/L, take the 300g weight hit on a full rack and have more ease of use? 

Currently leaning towards the L/L right now but would appreciate some feedback.

The ange range are the worse handling modern draws I have ever used. Even if you have got used to them yourself - think of your poor partners and get something less weird e.g. Phantoms /chimeras.

Maybe I'm weird... I rather like them! 

Chimeras do seem rather lovely, I must say. 

Are you thinking about the small Ange or the large?

In reply to MischaHY:  I don't mind mine - I have a mixture large and small.  For leading , not much different, seconding the smalls can be tricky.
