I'm wanting to change a dropped bar bike with barend shifters to an upright bar with barend shifters. I'm told both the Nitto Albatross and the Soma Oxford will work fine. The Nitto is more expensive than the Soma. Looks are not critical as I will be wrapping the entire bar for more hand positions.
Design wise are they similar or are there differences? Would appreciate any feedback from those who know these bars.

Thanks....John
