You are on the right track, as this has to fit you! I went through a lot of different bars until I settled on the Noodle. The difference maker for me was distance riding. Like a lot of people, a trick to riding distances in comfort lies in changing hand positions. The Noodle gives me many options. May not work for others, but they don't ride my bikes, I do.
As to the Cinelli bars, I can ride 64's and 66's just fine for 20-30 miles. Really, its when I get into the 40-50 mile range the Noodle starts working the best.
I am also building a touring bike, a Chris Kvale, and I am thinking about trying a Nitto Randonneur bar. Wide and flares on the drops might be just the trick for even longer rides, as I have five centuries scheduled for this coming season. We are also planning a whopper of a ride, a 700 mile ride into Manitoba. We'll have to see with the bars. The Colnago by the way made it fine on a 325 mile trip with the Noodles. My saddle was an issue, not the bars.
