Pursuit bars

Thinking about changing my drops for bullhorns/pursuit bars on my Anchor. At the same time, I think I'll switch from a cyclocross lever to a bar-end lever for the brake. Anyone have any suggestions for a nice bar to use - not in black?

So far, I've seen the following:
1. Nitto RB-021 - don't really need the drop down since I'm not really racing.
2. Nitto RM-019 - same issue
3. Nitto RB-018H - doesn't take bar-ends
4. Soma Urban Pursuit Bar - seems to be the best option, I don't know anything about the quality, etc... May need a bit of chopping down since they seem really long.

Any others? The Stratos would be perfect if it wasn't black I think.

Hmmm... that may solve my questions right there, I looked at the Syntace website and didn't see that, but apparently they are out there on google... Thanks.

Update: Anyone know where to get them in silver in an M size and minimal drop (200 model I believe)

For what it's worth, I've been happy with my Soma bars but, as you said, I chopped a good inch and a half or more off.

The stratos-type bars on chucks are fantastic, and come in silver.
