The H bars look cool (as does your surly). Isn't the aero position a bit narrow (as the bar narrows the farther you reach) and doesn't this compromise handling a bit? It reminds me a bit of the aero position on a moustache bar which I didn't like.

One thing I like about trekking bars is that the aero position is nice and wide so that handling is very good.
