I have both the Moto-Lita and the thicker leather wrapped type. I like them both and switch them now and then. The one con I have about the leather wrapped wheel is that it is difficult to handle when maneuvering at low speeds (parking, k-turns, etc.). The leather is very firm which makes the wheel feel slippery at times. My hands will slide a little which makes low speed turning even more laboring. I would assume driving gloves may alleviate that. I've never had an uncomfortable driving experience with the Moto-Lita. If I drive aggressively I may use one hand on the rim while the other is on a spoke for extra leverage. I rarely find that method necessary. To each his own.
