Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Questions:

Merino gloves, any good? Need something to take the chill off on colder mornings, but nothing too warm.

Also, if I'm between sizes (medium and large), which should I go for? Just after opinions really, I know it's hard to say. The mediums are a touch short in the fingers but great in the palm, while the larges are good in the fingers but a little 'bunchy' in the palm.

I'd always go a little larger with gloves.

Could just wear some liners in this weather
