Default Glass Teapots

I have a small (20 ounce) glass teapot (with infuser), and would like to
get a bigger one.

And so it starts...

Bodum Assam (stainless infuser) or Jenaer Mikado? Or one with a
Swissgold infuser? Or the ones that use the "stopbrew" system or
whatever it's called, where it seems that the infuser has something you
turn that covers the holes?

Glass handles - do they really stay cooler enough that you can hold them
without a potholder?

In a larger pot, does glass keep the tea warm enough? I'm not sure I can
get used to putting clothing (cozy) on my teapot.

It would be easier to stick with my porcelain and stoneware and whatever
they are larger teapots, but I like seeing the water darken and deepen
as it brews, more so than the surprise when I pour it into the cup. What
can I say? Sometimes, I'm easily amused.

Thank you!!
