Its not a matter of comfort. My point is I rarely ride by the stem and am either in the drops or on the curved portion of the bar. In an emergency, I would like my brake to be accessible as soon as possible and without having to change my center of gravity.
I would like to keep my current bars, as I find I climb better with them and they offer me more hand positions than bullhorns.
