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?

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

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