Aero Bars

I know all you TT purist will get pissy at me for wanting to slap some Aero Bars on a road bike, but for now, deal.

But before I drop some cash on Aero's, I have a few questions-

1) If I decided to slap these on my bike, would I have to remove my handle bar mounted light? My stem mounted computer? If I do have to move them, do the bars have anywhere else I can stick my crap?

2) Is the 2mph you gain from Aero's really worth $100-300?

3) How unstable are you when riding on the Aero's versus the hoods/drops? Of course, I wouldn't ride on the Aero's in a group ride, but I dont' want to grab a water bottle when I'm using the Aero's if I'll fall.

4) Woud I be wastign my money if I bought inexpensive ($120) bars vs. high-end ($500) bars?

Aero, Aero, Aero.
