I have a set that is still on the bench because I don't have extra levers or bar-cons right now. I 've clamped them in to try them out on the street in front of my house without brakes, which is very limited, but I like them up high. Bar cons will definitely help with the short grips.
Right now I have Nitto B115's on the tour bike. These are exactly like the Noodles except no back angle in the tops. Relatively shallow drop of 5". If I had the money and know-how, I would produce a bar with another 2 degrees of angle in the tops and a drop that is flared like the Midge, but with longer grips.
The commuter/all purpose bike has North Roads. No question about it - they are the most comfortable handlebar I have ever used. I even use this bike on centuries.
