+1, I don't really like the drops...I never descend on the drops, my muscel memory is for the hoods and I just don't feel comfortable on the drops...I might get more power for the brakes on the drops but tricky descents require the right touch on the brakes. the best aero position is with the hands together so you don't catch lots of air...you just have to bend down.
I like bullhorns when I'm on the road with the fixie, but you gotta have drops for the track!
