Randonneur handlebar questions

Hi all,

I'd like to try a randonneur style handlebar for a new build. Currently looking at the Nitto Randonneur bars at 42 cm or 45 cm as well as the Grand Bois Randonneur bar. I have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me with.

First, do the Nitto Rando bar dimensions refer to the c-c width at the ends? What are the corresponding widths at the top?

Second, how does the GB Rando bar compare with the Nitto one? Any first-hand experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. It's obviously a lot more expensive, so I'm wondering if it's worth it.

Many thanks in advance for your comments.
