I have both the Carbon/Ruby Madman, and an Ice Tailend. I'm sure I'll wear the Tailend more often, but the Madman is a great conversation starter.

Regarding how they compare in size, by the specs:

Madman:
eye size - 42
bridge size - 29
temple size - 151

Tailend:
eye size - 56
bridge size - 19
temple size - 121

Tailend is FAR superior to the Madman..

Tailend is one of the all time best Oakley designs ever. Without doubt the best release in recent years

Love the madman. If I want more coverage I'll just wear some of my other pairs. As far as looks you'll defentley get them with these shades. I figure since I missed the boat on over the tops these would be my 2nd choice.

I love those Mars! I guess all opinions point to the tailend which is cool bc I especially like how easy the lenses are to replace.

Thanks - they're a custom Rust refinish with Ruby polar. There's more detail pics of them here:
