The 2" rise that they and everyone else that has a set of 2" risers claim is actually just the height of the risers themselves, not the actual amount of rise they give you. Because of the angle of the triple tree, 2 inches of riser doesn't equal 2 inches of rise because the handlebars are rising and moving towards the rider instead of going straight up. On the link I provided, I detailed how this calculates out. Before I designed my own, I was using a set of their 2" risers so I was able to use theirs to confirm this calculation.
All makes perfect sense. Had your model been available a year ago, I probably would have chosen them over the Helibars. I have a long torso and short arms/legs (and also RSI/CTS/etc). Without the risers, the bike is unrideable. Once I ALSO added Phil's Wedges, all my problems then disappeared like magic. It looks like the Wedges would be compatible with your model, also; although getting all the right bolt lengths would be a challenge.
I might be a good candidate for the Horizons, too. But even more than the expense, they are a pretty major ordeal/operation to install. And if not liked, going backwards is just as much work.
