Gloves: open finger, best buy/comfort?!

i Haven't had a problem with Carpal Tunnel or Ulnar nerves, and I'm Computer programming roadie (Combining two High Risk Categories)

I've worn Specialized BG gloves for years, with the extra padding to protect the ulnar nerve. But last fall I got a pair of these:
PI slip-on gel tour lite gloves
They have somewhat less padding than the Specialized gloves but they're still very comfy. And I light the slip-on feature: no velcro straps to "attach other clothes in the wash" as someone put it LOL!

I find that PI's do generally have less padding than other gloves, but the tour gloves seem to have slightly more than other PI models.

The "Lite" in the "PI Tour Lite" gloves means light on the padding. They intentionally have less padding than other PI gloves, for those who like minimal padding.

the PI gel vent pros have a different kind of padding. I think it will have less compression and protect the nerve a little better. Anyone tried them on long rides yet? Thinking of getting them.
