I'm an autocrosser so I use the steering wheel a lot. Like you I had 
some intrepidation about switching but I did and I have to say the flat 
steering wheel with open top is easier to steer with. I can position my 
hand on a lower corner and push the wheel if I need to. I have reached 
for the wheel and not found it intuitively, even on the first day I used 
my new wheel. Go for it.
