How comfortable are they if you hold them at the top rather than the traditional ends? Could you ride like that for a while comfortably? Is the hand/wrist position natural? Would cross levers at the top make it more convenient?
I'll try to get more pics - photography isn't one of my strong points.

With the height and saddle-to-bar length I have now, I can stay in the 'aero' position for quite a long time...its not as stretched out as with aero bars, nor are my elbows in as far.
