The challenge that I have is that as soon as the liner is compressed against the outer the cold transmits through the glove, and my finger loses all circulation in a hurry.
I made a great deal of progress when I switched to XXL/XXXL gloves, which finally meant that my fingers didn't press against the ends, although the gloves are undeniably baggy.
The lobsters are warm, no doubt, but I found the sudden drop in dexterity worrying.
I put a great deal of thought into using Di2 for my all-weather bike due to the shift buttons being very small - hard to find with thick gloves.
However, I now use a climbers button, which gives you two buttons that look a lot like they've been recycled from an old ThinkPad keyboard, so you could hit them with an elbow reliably if it came down to it.
The best winter gloves I ever had were, believe it or not, a pair of Carhart wool-over-thinsulate affairs that I picked up for £20 in a random shop in Dulwich.
Sadly I dropped one winter before last.
Thinking about it, I have a pair of the SealSkinz wooly gloves- they are pretty good, and I'll switch to them when the Prenda's (which are excellent) get out of their depth.
