I like My figure 8 bend trekking bars,...

they are like bar ends when your hands are on the sides, but there so many other grips too .. a variety of holds helps on longer rides

far grip can get a good lean into the headwind posture when needed,

near side grip, brakes and Gripshifters .. Uses Mountain bike controls , or can set up Road levers towards the front bend.
thumbshifters elsewhere many options...

so rather than up down,.. the near and far, is on the same sort of height.
