Jesca, the oly dumbells that I found "empty" are 13 lbs and are longer. I opted to buy another set of DB's that are standard with screw on ends. I have the ones you were thinking with the spring clips in standard size also. I like the screw ons. It just seemed that when I added more weight the clips were flimsy. Could be my clips. The cost of iron is going up. I would check around for some deals NOW!
I am just going to start adding the 10lb plates when I need things heavier. I am already up to 40# on some things with 5's and 2.5's. I use wrist weights at 2.5 lbs each when I am in between wts, to increase them incrementally. 5lbs is a big jump sometimes.
