ok im in a dillema here, I have 2 sets of oars that im trying to decide between for my single.

first set is a set of smoothie 2 plain edge, 284-289 length. skinny shafts with medium flex.

2nd set is a set of fat2s vortex edge, 270-275 length. skinny shaft with soft flex.

im trying to decide which one to get and am really stuck!
i rowed fat2s last fall and really liked them, but they were to long so i couldent get the right gearing (to heavy) so i wanted to get the shorter ones.

I have also rowed a set of smoothie 2 plain edge and i liked them, but they just didint have that same grip i was used to on the fat 2s at the entry. not necessarily a bad thing just different.

so What do you think I should go for and why.
