Great article Andrew!
I run these on all of my bikes, Race version and Pro versions. And prefer the medium/soft.
I find that they really do work for me, taking out a lot of the arm pump on those fast rough trails, I bought Med, Waffle and Large grip sleeves, and prefer the Large soft sleeves the most from what I have tried. (the waffle is a very hard uncomfortable rubber IMO)
I can see how these probably aren't for everyone, I kinda thought they were a dumb idea when I first heard of them, but I was trying to build up a bike during Covid last summer, and most of my favourite grips were sold out, so I went with the race series, and haven't looked back, buying 2 more sets.
