I tour with aerobars. It was sad to give up on a bar bag but the comfort was worth it. They unload the saddle too so it's not only your wrists that they help with.

One thing to note: don't bother if you have even a slight gut, because your thighs will bounce on your fat with every rotation. I'm 6' and my thighs were touching my stomach at 167lb body weight. Dropped down to 160 lb and it became fine. You could probably mentally block out the jiggle but I wouldn't personally manage it. Much fatter than that and it would be a physical impossibility and not just a mental annoyance.
