Is there a way to make handles bigger in Illustrator?

Question

Whilst using the pen-tool in Adobe Illustrator, it is quite difficult to "grab" the path handles. They are soooo very tiny! Inkscape's handles are about twice that size.

Is there any way to get the handles bigger? I can't find any option, and the oracle (google) doesn't report that there is any solution. Maybe it can be done via script or addon? Or maybe there is some hidden settings that I don't know about?

Anyone with a solution?

In the preferences of Illustrator CS6 I have the option to make the handles slightly bigger:

Not sure if CS5 already had the option and if it's enough of an increase for you.
