Just to be slightly contrary, although I share your opinion regarding the esthetics of classic bars, if this is really to be a bike on which you will put some serious miles and you ride some substantial time in the drops, I would not totally reject ergo. Not all are as extreme as the carbon ergos and the ergo bend is very comfortable. Take a look at the Deda Piega. From a function standpoint, they are my favorite bars.

Also, ergo bars have been around for more than 20 years. I had some then.
