The Mary bars are great.

Both have their place though. On my Giant the riding position is bolt upright and the Albatross bars are very comfortable, but I would not want to be leaning over them for any long stretch.
My Salsa I set up with Mary bars and my riding position is about the same as riding "on the hoods" of drop bars. A position the Mary's are better suited for.

Oh, if you put the Ergon grips (the ones on the pic above) on the Albatrosses, you can rest your elbows on the "flair"* like the elbow pads on aero bars and get into a similar tuck.
