As you can tell, I am suspicious but I admit that I have never used them.
I used aerobars for years both time trialing and commuting. When riding my commuter with 20lbs of work clothes & such in a panier, clip-ons have ZERO to do with speed. However, I did find the position comfortable when out on the empty country roads of western Wa. But as i approached town or any cross street i got off the bars and onto my hoods. When commuting with my roomates, all three of us had clip-ons. None used them in the line except when he was on the front.
