Moustache (Albastache) bars with non-aero levers?

Thinking about trying out some albastache bars, but I've primarily seen them set up with aero brake levers. Anyone have any pics of their bikes with non-aero levers? I don't like to have cables running under my wrap, but if there is good reason to run aero with these bars, I'd consider it.

Bikes: yes

This guy The Moustache Handlebar asserts that non-aero is the only way to go. And he's got stanford in his web address so he must have teh smarts.

I run aero on mine with no problems so it's probably just a matter of personal preference (plus whatever parts you had lying around, in my case.)

Bikes: blue ones.

Non-aero brakes work just as well on an moustabatross bar as on a drop bar.
