Default Road Glide or High Road King for FLHRC

Toying with changing out the bars on my '01 RKC and can't decide between the Chrome Road King® High Handlebar 55954-00 and the Chrome Road Glide® Handlebar 55955-00A. I don't want to go to the trouble now to replace cables and hoses so the Wild I options are out. Just curious what you all thought of the two bars on a FLHRC. Also, I know another popular option is the Heritage bars.

FYI - I'm 6'0 tall and have long arms.

I'm 6'0 and changed out the stock bars on my '07 RKC to the RK HHs, $49 bucks and could reuse cables. Couple more inches rise, definitely better than stock, still not perfect. Will be changing these to 502s or 572s, 12" rise or 14" rise. Your rightthough, pricey with cables and all, but that'll be next mod (gotta loose the wires)

Here's a pic of the stock bars:

I swapped out the stock bars on my RK to the RK high bars and love them. HUGE difference. Can ride all day now with no neck/shoulder pain.
