I gotta get a set of these. Anyone know where I can get a set of 44cm?

You can order them from the 3TTT website and have them shipped to you. Have not seen the alloy version at US retailers yet.

The curve from the hood through the end of the drop reminds me of the PRO Vibe round handlebars (a bit like the Zipp CF traditional bend bar as well). If you get them, please provide a user review.

You can't order the alloy Pro version from the 3T site. Only the $250+ carbon versions. I have a philosophical aversion to paying over $100 for bar.

You could as of 9pm yesterday. Perhaps stocks are low.

This must be the case today. Just checked again and def can't add to cart on the Pro version. All others available.

I wish some company would make a deeper drop bar. These have 139mm drop. There needs to be a round bend bar with around 150mm.

Indeed.
Similar to HED GTO bars, too.
I don't know what to call this bend. It's a modern round bend that's similar to but definitely not the same as a traditional bend. Optimized both for shifters and for people who used to like traditional bars.

Deda Newton Deep is 145mm deep. I think that's about as deep as 31.75 bars go.

Maybe the FSA New Ergo (http://www.fullspeedahead.com/products/196/Energy-New-Ergo) at 150 drop? I just put on a set and am eager to get a real road ride on them (vs on the rollers).

Although not quite round, Faboo seemed OK when he was paid to ride them:
