I dont use the bar that much though. I have extensions and I try to be on those as much as possible as thats the most comfortable hand position.
I think it depends on the grip brand, also. My wife's bike has grips sort of like Ergons, "ergonomic" style or whatever, and they're not nearly as comfortable as the actual Ergon GP grips.
