What are the pros and con's of a big LE handle vs a small one?

I have tried both and personally preferred the smaller, more rigid handle, as it felt like I had a little more control over the roll of the wing flagged out vs the big one, where the lesser rigid handle felt like I lost a little control.

But, I have heard others prefer the bigger handles, just not why, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something?

This is why I don't like the tiny non rigid front handle on duotone.

Maybe it makes passing the wing from one hand to the other easier while riding waves?

I have a very rigid handle on my wing and can flip it with one hand. I prefer rigid.

Makers have to compromise between stiff, solid handle for pinpoint control and soft floppy handle for comfort and durability.
