That's not to say they're completely useless, but if you use them to avoid difficulties with conventional deadlifts all you're doing is neglecting to train up your weak points. And, no, they're not going to make your hands longer. Having said all that, congrats on the lifts - you're bloody strong. :) A little searching around suggests that trap bar deadlifts are a bit closer to squats (in terms of back and leg angles) than they are to deadlifts.
