It's an interesting challenge, this getting old business... I hope I can continue to see it that way!

Re: Handles -- how long?
Sorry for the delayed response! Welcome!
That does sound rather long!
I guess if you have high enough ceilings, you can do something with it, though.
I like your list of pros... though I might suggest for practicality investigating getting a shorter handle.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
