Is anyone using FSA K-Wing carbon bars? http://www.fullspeedahead.com/products/road/pages/bars/k-force-aero.htm

The Easton bars are 60 grams lighter and cheaper.

I believe the FSA bars have that nice ergo top bar and look comfortable.

The K wings are a lot better than the Eastons in my opinion even though they are slightly heavier. The K wings have a more normal feeling reach and shape whereas the Eastons have a very long reach with very little room on the tops due to their angled section above the levers. The K wing is also dramatically stiffer than the Easton which is a plus if you are a bigger rider, and the flattened out section is very comfortable. The internal cable routing makes for a good look too.
