Shallow Italian Classic style bars

This mainly a Nitto question, but comments on my choices - and any other suggestions - are welcome.

I'm looking for a shallow / Italian classic / TdF bend bar for a (Molteni) Colnago Master X Lite build.

My shortlist is, in order of preference:

1- 3ttt Paris Roubaix - TdF bend
2- Cinelli Giro D'Italia
3- Nitto Dream Bar

There's a great website that shows various bar profiles, but the Nitto is not illustrated:

From photographs, the Nitto looks close to the other two, is half the price and is available in the UK, but can anyone tell me if there are any significant differences?

(FWIW I'll be buying a Cinelli XE quill stem, a 90's Record seatpost and a Centaur groupset - all alloy finish. Not sure about wheels and saddle yet.)

Thanks!

PS. Deda 215 shallow drop is a possibility too, but I'd spray over the logos and maybe get a black stem.
