Just to follow up on this... both pairs of Gloves arrived today!
First impressions, both look great and feel comfortable when worn.
As previously mentioned, I have always been a sausage design glove man, so the BAS ones are spot on. Protection seems very good and the palms are supple and soft.
The SF Pro Edition are so much better than I hoped for. Almost feel like I have had these for years, as they are so comfortable and feel "broken in". They have a pittard palm, which is very comfy and feels superb. All in all, very happy with both pairs!
