I was in the exact same boat not long ago. I was browsing at LBS and they showed me a pair of aero bars for $200+, then a pair for $150, then a $40 pair of clip-ons! I jumped on them a month+ ago, and I really don't know how I survived without them. I love them. I like the energy it saves in the wind and the extra power I seem to get when on the bars.
Check it out. I was actually taking a pic of my dog pulling (the lazy biking method) the other day, but you can see the type of bars I went with. Kinda ugly, but I don't care. They're totally comfortable and they work!
