I got my Gerbing's T5 Hybrid heated leather gloves this season from a vendor on eBay for $94 delivered. I'd been using heated glove liners but found two disadvantages: 1) it feels like you're pulling off and on two pairs of gloves every time you need to use your fingers...because that's essentially what you are doing 2) if you're wearing winter gloves in your normal size, the added thickness of the liners makes the gloves tight and inhibits circulation a bit.
With heated gloves, there's no additional procedure other than plugging them into the ports on the jacket cuff. When you need them off, zip they're off and dangling from the cords so you don't even have to stow them somewhere on the bike while they're off. I've found that winter gloves in my normal size tend to feel tight just because they are bulkier. I bought my heated gloves a size larger than my normal glove size. The extra interior room allows for good blood circulation and actually forms more internal air pockets for additional insulation. A nice surprise is that every finger and thumb seems to be heated on all sides including the palms, so I don't even need to turn on my heated grips.
