Butterfly/Trekking bars...what postion?

Wonder pros and cons of mounting in "standard" or "inverted" position. Trying both ways: standard feels like flat bars with bar ends, inverted (with stem riser) feels like mustache or path racer with additional flat hand position- also curves/angles feel more natural, but a bit twitchy handling (maybe due to stem riser). Flat area and levers are at the same height and the bars are tilted at a similar angle on both set-ups. The bike is used for commuting, light shopping and day trips of about 50 Km. into the local agricultural and forest recreational areas...pavement, broken pavement, some gravel.




Standard Position
