Well, of course you'd have better visibility than from the drops, but from the hoods it is about the same. I do agree about better braking. I have short fingers and find bullhorns allow me to get a better grip of the levers. I have better braking on bullhorns than from the hoods or from the drops because of this.

I've thought about getting some of those, but I have never seen them in person. The only thing holding me back is not knowing the length of the upswing part of the bars. Sorry, hard for me to explain. The part of the bars towards the end that rises. If it is not too much trouble, could you tell me the length of that part, I guess measured on the top part of the bars.
