i rode the midges for a month and thought they were cool, not perfect though. The drops are a bit short for me and i never felt like i got them set up as i would have liked. I went to a flat bar with barends and have like that very much.
Also, I just started using a 46 cm Bontrager road bar w/ canecreek brake levers and like that too as it offers great hood positioning, which the midge does not. Personally, i like a bar where the drops are used mainly for aerodynamic advantages but may not be super comfy, and the hoods/tops are more comfy for 90% of my riding time. With the midges, its the other way around; if you set them up so the drops are comfy (as I did) the tops/hoods become LESS aero... what position do you use in a headwind to get more aero? Additionally, the midges arent particularly nice on the hoods. the tops are fine. the ramps are really uncomfortable so I only had 2 nice hand positions (i can find 5-6 on the standard road bar). Just my 2 cents and not a slam on the midges as i do think they are cool and will be giving them another shot soon...
think about Nitto noodle bars in 48cm if you want a wide, strong and comfrotable bar with cane creek brake levers (they have a nice wide hood shape). My bontrager 46cm Select bars are nice too: cheap but a bit flexy.
