I think the problem for me is that they aren't being used in an old school way - the saddle is way too high, the frame too small. That sort of bar makes more sense when you're trying to gain a bit of drop because the frame puts the head set up high. Still, it's only visuals and the OP needs to remember that one man's opinion is just that, an opinion.
