I would be throwing them on my Bareknuckle and since you have done the same your opinion would be appreciated.
I typically use the steel bead version because I'm not a weight weenie and they're a little easier to put on.

What's wrong with the Soma bars? I think they're really nice.
Deda made a compact drop called the Piega that ran around 30 bucks if you can still find them. There's also the Civia Emerson (which are the same exact bars as the HWY ONE with different branding).
