Tow mirrors vs. Standard mirrors

I have the tow mirrors on my 06 and I'm thinking of changing them out for the standard mirrors. I had standard mirrors in my last van and thought they were perfectly fine.

I have 2 main gripes with the towing mirrors:
1. They are too wide to fit in my garage without folding in one side.
2. The view out of the passenger side is a joke. It does not have the convex glass "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" that 99% of modern vehicles have. It makes for a very narrow field of view out of the main mirror, with a huge blind-spot.
3. (okay, I know I said 2 gripes) I cracked the black plastic fairing that mounts the mirror to the passenger door, so I need to replace something anyhow.

Here is my actual question:
Are the 2010+ mirrors any better than the earlier mirrors? The later mirrors have the spot mirror in the upper right corner, whereas the earlier mirrors have the full width bottom convex secondary mirror.
Thanks for any help and real world input!
