@ Maelochs......all your observations are about dead-on. The top & bottom perspectives are probably slightly off..... I'd say they're pretty close tops-wise. Actually, the top pic's have a slightly higher rise at the hoods than the bottoms which are dead level. (maybe a couple degrees)
I'm adjusting today so we'll see how it goes. I seem to adapt pretty well, even to my surprise sometimes, so I'm gonna try it. The new bike is smaller, lighter, stiffer, has some nicer stuff on it and definitely a faster/quicker ride so I'd like to keep the lightweight components that are already on it. But I'm not opposed to changing out bars down the road if it ultimately didn't work for me. (Part of learning what works for me & what doesn't)

Humbug.......the drops on both are probably similar in drop......and if anything *maybe* a little deeper on the C'dale bars, but neither significantly different enough that I'd much notice. Except, of course that the drops on the bottom bike feel a little more like "forwards" to me than drops right now.
Thanks again for all the feedback. Good to hear people's opinions/preferences.
