albatross or moustache?

I know I'll use my Motobecane Grand Touring more when I make it more comfortable. Perhaps those of us in the age category understand better than most that drop bars are not the best when one is old and fat--not you, of course but you must have some friends who fit this description.

I take leisurely day trips and make a nine mile each way commute to the pool. My preference for an upright position is not just comfort but also safety and my being able to take in the scenery without pushing my neck into a position that causes it to protest for hours after a longer ride is over.

Has anyone here experience with both the Albatross and the Moustache handlebars? If so, would you please compare/contrast your experience?

Anyone with opinions of either of these (or others), please share you experience here. I have bar-end shifters, so anything I consider must accommodate them. I'm prepared to change out brake levers if necessary.
