Track drops on the street: thoughts

I picked up a cheap pair of Soma track drops off of CL this week as I've been riding exclusively with risers or bullhorns.

My first impressions: These have to be the most impractical and uncomfortable bars for street use. Their narrow size offers zero stability from a start position and lead to fatigue very quickly. I'm a little overweight (spare tire) and as such, the aggressive position they put me in was quite uncomfortable after only a few minutes. About the only thing I did like about them was the enhanced acceleration I got while in the drops. Other than that, for me at least, they're a track-only component.

Anyway, thoughts? Anyone prefer them for street use?
