Bikes: Working on replacing my stolen Soma Buena Vista Mixte

I like the porteurs. Wondering if they have enough space! I wonder if they are in stock nearby so I play around with them a bit. Looks like they are about 2 cm shorter in the grip than my current bars, but the fronts look like a nice position.

The Jones H bar has lots of positions but would be hard to manuever in around my streets! Is probably great if you have wider shoulders than I!

The MAP/Ahearne are shaped nicely but pretty wide! Maybe I should look at the SOMA Sparrows. They have some narrower options. Any one use those?

*Update
I finally see some info on grip area. Looks like it is 15.5cm in the narrower ones. And the shap puts the alternate hand position at the top closer than my Left Banks. Will see if I can find these in a store. This looks good if my hands fit in the front bends!
