synthetic with closest feel to leather?

I love how the leather grip lets me feel the bevels, but even with 2 overgrips on, I feel that its too harsh on my hand (developing clauses on my thumb and blisters on my palm). I also feel that because I put 2 overgrips on for cushioning, the grip is getting bigger than I want. So does anyone know which synthetic grip would provide good cushioning (I will be putting on an overgrip) that would give me good feel of the bevels? I was thinking of the wilson true grip but I personally have never felt it.

I've read a few recommendations on here suggesting Gamma's Hi-Tech grip as a slightly cushioned alternative to leather (if you use an overgrip, since the surface is nothing like leather), and having just put them on my racquets last night, I agree. They're dense, firm, maintain the bevels fairly well, and are slightly more cushioned than leather. They're a bit on the thick side, though (I recall reading somewhere that they're 1.8mm), so you have to consider how thick your current leather grip is.

I haven't used Wilson's True Grip, so I can't give you any feedback on that one.
