Does it allow you to get higher up on the grip than a standard A2 grip? I'm thinking that I need to try one as I wear XL gloves and Colt A2 grips are what I usually go for, as they're beefier.

That's kind of the opposite of what it's designed to do, which is lower the hand to put it more in line with the trigger. One of these days I'll pick one up just to compare side by side to my MIAD.

We have been using a few of them since I saw then at the Shot Show. Got one to try out first, then 4 more shortly after that. Those that have them, won't give them up.

i have 2 MAID grips now and decided to try the stark for my next build. just ordered one. i will try it out next weekend and post back. thanks for the input guys.
I have one and I love it. My friends have been impressed by it too. Hey, it's a grip, to each their own.
ETA: I also have a Magpul MIAD on my other AR and like them both. The plug in the Stark is so tight, that when I put two 123 batteries in it it is nearly impossible to remove. It will not fall out.

Not sure about the single handed manipulations as I usually use both hands when shooting the AR.
So far, I love the Stark grip. Before I tried the stock A2 grip, and an Ergo. Both had my hand way too high as I'm used to shooting pistols and naturally wanted the tang burried in the web of my thumb. Doing this really put my trigger finger at an odd angle, and the reach was way too short. The Stark fixes all of that. I now can burry the grip in my hand, and have a straight angle to the trigger to rest the first pad of my trigger finger where it needs to be. Still nice and easy to reach the safety, mag release, and EBR.
I'll echo whats been said already, you'll be doing your self a disservice if you let looks keep you from at least giving the Stark a try. This grip is that good.
I really like this design as well... this plus an ACS or EMOD is a rifle damn near ergonomically perfect, at least for me.
ETA: My only caveat is that this grip seems basically tailored to offhand shooting. The steeper angle helps you grip more naturally when you've got your arms tight to your body and you're leaning into the rifle a bit. That steeper angle makes shooting prone a little less natural for me. Overall, though, it's a good trade-off, I think.
