Replying to Dakine Glove Sizing?

I'm looking to buy Dakine Cobra GTs, but I don't know about size and I haven't been able to find them in any stores yet.

For North Face & Burton gloves, XL seemed to always fit my fingers better.  My wrist and palm were fine with L or XL.  Dakine's sizing chart says to measure around your hand right below your fingers, I fall right in between these two (more towards L).

8.5" to 9.5" - L
9.5" to 10.5" - XL

So.....if anyone with Dakine gloves could measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand (I'm just under 8") and let me know that length and glove size you use, that would be very helpful, thanks.
