Incidentally as I remember it(allthough I may be to young to be correct) the early bullhorns had drop so in fact the 021s are more "old school cool" while the 018s will be more ergonomic and probably more comfortable(unless you bars are currently too high.)
Wider bars and a higher position will be better for climbing too.
The current calfhorns (short flip-snip) are small and cute. And the stem could drop a few inches. So the additional drop is not imperative. (Aesthetics only.)
I could appreciate the longer bullhorns, though.
The zero drop bullhorn is winning.
Comfort > Appearance
(Now I just have to compare the zero drop brands.)
Thanks.
