Only consider the Dolan Alpina 33cm. They are deep, but not that deep. The British women used them for a while.

Nitto 125AA (aluminum, still very stiff) is my recommendation in 36cm. It is short and shallow. Very similar dimension to the 3T Scatto. Victoria Pendleton used these a lot before the British made custom carbon bars for the team. I've used them, too before I got Scattos. These are great.

Do not get the Nitto B123/B123AA. They are the very definition of long and low drop bars. Too deep.

3T Scattos if you have everything else and have $400 to burn. They are not worth $300 more than the Nitto B125AA. But, we all like nice shiny carbon things
