IME You are both more and less maneuverable. It takes very little to get the bike to turn a little. In fact, it takes a some getting used to in order to keep from wobbling all over the place. The bike is much more sensitive to changes in body position when you're on the aero bars.
It's hard to turn sharply while on the aero bars especially if you're moving slower, like say you had to both slam on the brakes and turn at the same time in order to avoid something.
