I say give it a try. For some reason, bullhorns made my bike more fun to ride and I kind of miss them -- except on windy days.
I am also thinking about going bullhorn. My reasoning is that it will give me a more aero position compared to my MTB handlebars, but your saying they are not good for windy days. I imagine they act like drop bars without the curve.
