I'll echo what Greg said above, but I think the heating difference tends to even out. It is noticeable at first, but once the metal bar gets up to temp, it stops being too noticeable.

The inside of both grips are ribbed/slotted plastic, which I'm sure makes them perform much better than the "wrap the heating element around the bar" variety. The end result is much more heat going into your hands.
