Keep in mind that a swap to trekking bars will likely necessitate the installation of a longer stem; otherwise you'll shorten up your cockpit and feel cramped. Cable routing sometimes requires a little ingenuity, but if you forgo the grips you can push the controls outward so that the cables clear the stem more easily.
