whaddaya think of this bar?

I ran across this at Performance last week, and am considering it for my son's fixie, partly because I've always been intrigued with flat tops ("wings") and because I've got an 120 Ritchey OS stem to reuse (this bar has a 31.8mm clamp area). Does this work as an alternative to a more typically shaped bullhorn? He wants a bullhorn with zero drop. Any pros/cons with this design?

I'm putting this on a short frame (tt=53cm, and he's 5'8"), but I've got a long stem (120mm), so I'm thinking the short (looking) reach of this Profile bar should be about right.
