Possibly I have misunderstood what the phrase "riser bars" means, but otherwise, IMHO, bullhorns have as many hand positions as do riser bars, if not more.
That said, I ride with bullhorns and, since my bike fits me perfectly, I keep my hands in the same position all the time without any discomfort.
It takes a long time and considerable thought and reflection to find the right fit.
It took me three years and a lot of experimentation to get my present bike "just right."
It helps to have either too much money or an LBS who will let you experiment out a parts box.
