I actually use the same bars w/ a 50mm rise AND a higher rise stem on my DS. However, I cut mine down to 700mm. I found them more comfortable when my arms weren't turned outward. Comfort may depend on your build. I set mine up higher and closer, because I have cervical vertebrae issues and reaching too far and low hurts my neck on longer rides.

The bars may offer more positions than a stem would due to its rotation. The bars are MSRP $80, so it's not too bad of an upgrade.
